...image of the object to be photographed is first focused on a glass plate covered with an antimony and cesium compound, which gives off electrons when struck by light. At every point in the image electrons are knocked loose. Off to a slow start, they are whisked away at tremendous speeds by a powerful electric field. Then they are focused by a magnetic lens (as in an electron microscope) to form a new image on a photographic plate. The speeded-up electrons have taken energy from the electric field and form an image about 100 times stronger than the original...
...artificial production of a compound naturally produced by the living body is generally hailed as a landmark in the advancement of chemistry...
...search for another starting material began when the medical applications of the compound revealed it to be of the greatest value in the treatment of arthritis and several other diseases. The production of cortisone is currently limited by the relatively small amount of oxbile available...
Woodward's process, consisting of 30 steps, begins with ortho toluidine and ends with a compound close to cortisone. A process recently completed by Louis F. Fieser, Emery Professor of Organic Chemistry, and Hans Heymann, research fellow in Chemistry, takes four steps and adds a vital oxygen atom to the molecule...
...politics of Ohio's Robert Taft, but without Taft's political and economic sophistication. He painted a dark picture of the "forgotten man" being crushed by taxes, and advanced the surprising thesis that "the low-income bracket" is bearing most of the taxation.
