...Nobel Prize for physiology and medicine (worth $42,000) was awarded last week to a man who is no physician but a chemist, a man who had never been interviewed by a newsman until the announcement came from Stockholm, a man who had never been listed in the Who's Who of his adopted country. For good measure, the distinguished laureate-to-be was ill in bed with what he believed to be Asian flu when the Swedish ambassador called to deliver the news...
...this score, a husband-wife team from Johns Hopkins University, Plastic Surgeon Milton T. Edgerton and Chemist Patricia J. Edgerton report that skin grafts from one strain of mice to another normally died within nine days, but could be made to live as long as 38 days if they were retransplanted several times at four-day intervals. This suggested that an organ donated for spare-part use might be conditioned so that it would no longer stimulate the recipient's system to produce antibodies. And a team at the University of Minnesota reported on work with rats and rabbits...

Mr. Guiness is at at his very best, never overplaying but by quietly alternating shy smiles...
Publisher Block did not crow to his readers. A research chemist who earned degrees from Yale, Harvard and Columbia before taking over following the death of Paul Block Sr. in 1941, dark-haired, retiring Paul Block, 46, dispassionately analyzed Toledo's "evil hoax" both in the evening Blade and its sister paper, the stodgy morning Times (41,841), which had also avoided the racial tag but stirred few complaints. (The Block-owned Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, which is published by younger brother William, has the same racial policy...
