...test tube, Penbritin has proved deadly to a variety of disease-causing microbes. Tried on a small number of British patients, it swiftly cleared up stubborn infections of the urinary tract, including some caused by the common colon bacteria, Escherichia coli. Test tube promise was not fulfilled in intestinal infections caused by one of the commonest forms of Salmonella; after a brief clearing, the microbes reappeared. More trials in many patients will be needed to show whether Penbritin can be useful against the several forms of Salmonella and Shigella that cause much dysentery and enteric fever, and, most importantly, against...
...Nungesser, who vanished somewhere over the Atlantic 34 years ago. Lodged in the pot was a fragment of an instrument panel, which may have come from Nungesser's ill-fated biplane, L'Oiseau Blanc. On May 8, 1927, the dashing Nungesser and his navigator, François Coli, took off from Paris, aiming at the $25,000 Orteig Prize, which awaited the first man to fly nonstop between Paris and New York-and which was won by Charles Lindbergh for his solo flight twelve days later. The former French ace, who shot down 47 enemy aircraft in World...
...swamp on take-off and are killed. Chamberlin damages his Bellanca in a routine test flight. Commander Richard E. Byrd, with his Fokker and four-man crew all set, waits at Roosevelt Field for the word from the weatherman. On May loth, two days after Frenchmen Nungesser and Coli take off from Paris, Lindbergh hops from San Diego to St. Louis in the record time of 14 hrs. 25 min., takes off next morning, and by afternoon is in New York...
...with more than 300 gallons, for fear a tire would blow out on landing. Can he fly with the big gas tank in front of the cockpit, and no visibility ahead except for a makeshift periscope? Can he navigate a whole ocean with simple compasses? Even Nungesser and Coli have been lost over the Atlantic. Why should he succeed...
...mixed two strains: one which could not produce vitamins, and another which could not produce certain amino acids. Because of experimental difficulties, Dr. Tatum did not see what happened next; but presently he had a crop of normal Escherichia coli. Their genetic completeness could come only from a combination of both strains. He concluded that the contrasting strains had mated and fused, the good qualities of each repairing the deficiencies of the other...
