This week, five years later, the paper is being published (with no comment from the Government) in the Journal of Immunology. Drs. Theodor Rosebury and Elvin Kabat originally wrote it to scare Washington officials; now, they say, they are publishing it to scare the public. Set down with a kind of desperate, scientific calm, the report would make as pleasantly alarming reading as any outrageous fictional chiller-except for the fact that it might all come true...
...ahead of their solemn Indian neighbors. A Burman delegation prepared to leave London after quickly getting almost everything-short of outright independence-that it had come for. The process had been relatively quiet and painless, although at times it was a bit embarrassing to all concerned, like Sir Hubert Elvin Ranee's reception...

Jellinek, the bustling director of their studies, reported a little progress: his investigators had discovered how to spot an incipient alcoholic. A drinker who 1) gulps his drinks, 2) sneaks a few on the side, 3) worries about his liquor consumption, 4) stops talking about his drinking, 5) begins to "pull blanks" (i.e., forgets what happened during his bouts) is likely to become a hopeless drunk within...

But Elvin Stakman was one of the first to plumb the secrets of plant fungi growth. He discovered that every fungus contains a number of parasitic strains, and that a single fungus cell may produce thousands of varieties which look alike but differ in their plant tastes...
