...anesthetic, three to five times as powerful as ether, has been developed by Dr. John Christian Krantz, professor of pharmacology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. It is called pro-pethylene (chemical name: isopropenyl vinyl ether). Last fortnight Dr. Krantz told the New Jersey section of the American Chemical Society that propethylene is superior to ether, the anesthetists' standby...
...Krantz made his anesthetic by combining ether with cyclopropane (a modern, quick-acting inhalation anesthetic). First he tried it on dogs, rats, mice, mon. keys, the hearts of frogs. Then he tried it on Mrs. Constance Black, an expert anesthetist in her own right. She reported that the anesthetic was "pleasant," an adjective few have applied to ether...
...carried by 96 CBS affiliated stations (some 25 in the South and Southwest). None of them was obliged to (the script was read to them over a closed wire before the broadcast). The program's author-producer-director, William N. Robson (TIME, March 8), thinks that the ether has been broken and that CBS can now go ahead to air other topical problems (inflation, black markets, etc.). To lend the race program authority, CBS had gotten Wendell Willkie to close it. The fact that his warm plea for tolerance was definitely an anticlimax was perhaps the best indication...
...Prize achievement, ten years ago, was devising wave mechanics to reconcile the seeming contradictions in the nature of light. Light unquestionably has a wave motion, yet it obeys the quantum laws as if it were composed of particles or small bundles of energy. Schrödinger imagined a sub-ether filled with ripples too small for detection. He conceived of a "particle" of light as an "area of ripples," a wave-throb that is detectable by instruments...
...this time I was conscious, though becoming drowsy as a result of the ether cleansing. The instant the shock button was pressed I lost consciousness. The next thing I knew was that I was lying in a cubicle with my escort sitting beside me. . . . For some minutes I could not remember where I was or that I had had the treatment. Gradually memory and mental clarity returned...
