...will work at the Institute, in the world's biggest institution for cancer research, showed visiting cancer specialists through the well-equipped laboratories. Said one biologist, who spotted a coffeepot heating over a Bunsen burner: "That's one piece of apparatus we're sure will work." But Dr. Cornelius P. ("Dusty") Rhoads, head of the Institute and of the affiliated Memorial Hospital, was more hopeful. Said he: "No one can predict from what source a major discovery will come.

In five years the company has erected $1,000,000 worth of electric signs around Times Square, its assets have ballooned to $500,000, and its 28-year-old Alabama-born president has been dubbed...
...proprietors of KVOS, a 100-watt "coffeepot"* radio station in Bellingham, Wash., 70 miles from Seattle, had a fine idea. Why not start a "Newspaper of the Air" with three or more daily editions to keep KVOS fans up to the minute on world affairs? For advertising, there was the business of Bellingham merchants who would pay for interspersed announcements. For an editor, there was L. H. Darwin, who had once published a Bellingham paper.
