...findings were then turned over to Ernest Havemann, former TIME editor now with LIFE, whose often-demonstrated ability to "humanize" statistics made him a logical choice. While Havemann was writing the book, it was being checked, chapter by chapter, by Drs. Merton and West. Havemann had a field day, comparing the accepted myths (which he termed the "folklore") about college graduates with the facts revealed by the study...
...Drs. Ronald T. Grant and E. Basil Reeve found themselves caught in this confusion early in World War II, when they treated 120 victims of bombings and accidents in England. They went on to Italy and treated 190 more (both soldiers and civilians). They soon dropped the word shock from their vocabulary, because they found it not a help but a hindrance.

Their motto: "If in doubt, transfuse...

In one form or another, the remains of Peking man are probably...

Antoine Louis and Joseph Guillotin and on April 25 1792, he tried it out. The Parisian crowds cried, "Bring back the block," but Charles Henri Sanson was well pleased. "Simplicity and absence of noise," he said happily, after the test...
