None of the three men who now play with Mulligan were with him on the Coast. Gone is Chet Baker, a trumpeter who got too good to play second fiddle. Together, Baker and Mulligan worked perfectly--the easy, sliver-like sounds of Baker's horn a perfect complement to the fullness of the baritone sax. Not until last night have I heard Brookmeyer do as well with Mulligan as Baker...
MERGER may be in the offing between the $350 million Frisco System and the $103 million Central of Georgia. The two railroads would connect at Birmingham, and complement each other's business; the Middlewestern Frisco would send its trains east to the Atlantic and the Georgia operate 1,000 miles westward. Talk is at the stage where Frisco President Clark Hungerford is looking over the Georgia line...
Work at the Rockefeller Institute on pneumococci (the commonest pneumonia germs) led Manhattan-born Chemist Heidelberger to devise precise ways to measure antigens and antibodies and also a mysterious something in the blood, awkwardly called "complement." There had even been doubt as to whether complement was a substance or a state...
...serum of guinea pigs is especially rich in complement, an essential factor in the Wassermann and other tests. Dr. Heidelberger and his associates (he is now professor of immunochemistry at Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons) found chemical ways of making guinea-pig serum go twice as far. As he puts it. with a dry smile: "Rivers of guinea-pig blood could have been saved if these methods had been known 50 years ago." He is too modest to add that millions of blood tests now performed in research laboratories every day are simpler, quicker, cheaper...
...United States still maintains a policy of atomic isolation. Co-operation between free world countries would clearly raise the level of Western research. Canada could give us vital information on nuclear piles, while the scientists of England and Australia, given access to America's modern research equipment could complement the work done here. Moreover, the money these nations are spending to repeat what America has done years ago, could be used to advance not duplicate, atomic research...
