...such cases of sterility, Swedish researchers headed by Uppsala's Dr. Carl Gemzell have devised injections of gonad-stimulating hormones extracted from pituitary glands obtained at autopsy. In many cases, ten to 15 days of injections over a month or two induced ovulation, and the women bore one or more normal babies. In Sweden there were two sets of quads. While the Swedish research was progressing, an Italian endocrinologist, Dr. Pietro Donini, began extracting gonad-stimulating hormones from the urine of women who had passed the menopause. It takes three gallons of urine to produce enough of the extract...
...majority of the justices agreed with White, and the Supreme Court last week declared the vague Washington oaths unconstitutional. Noting that the court had upheld a similar Maryland statute, dissenting Justice Tom Clark found his colleagues' change of heart "unfortunate." Justice White's worries, he complained, "extract more sunbeams from cucumbers than did Gulliver's mad scientists...
...their output, but only slightly. Black Africa is making its first major effort to expand its mining and marketing; mines in Sierra Leone and Liberia have increased production. For the first time in 56 years, De Beers has reopened its big Old De Beers mine, using modern equipment to extract stones that once were thought uneconomic to mine. It has also helped to bankroll a Texan named Sammy Collins (TIME, Nov. 9, 1962), who is digging diamonds from under the sea off the coast of southwest Africa.

...words and letters of the ma chine's vocabulary* were originally spoken into a recording device by Walter Jennison, a Teleregister Corp. engineer who could speak with the necessary clarity. Then the words were recorded on a revolving magnetic drum. What the computer does is to extract the latest quotations from its continually refurbished memory, translate them into the proper words taken from the drum, and transmit them to the listening broker over the telephone line. It makes no mistakes, never gets tired, and costs $100 per month...
When God spoke to man centuries ago, it was far easier to believe that the sun stood still or water turned into wine. But what is science-minded man to make of the Bible? How can he extract its real meaning for today from a hard-to-swallow supernatural framework? These are not easy questions, and lately they have been getting a rather hard answer from Dr. Rudolf Bultmann's Marburg Disciples (TiME, June 21), who dominate German theology the way the Russians rule chess. They call their answer "the new hermeneutic...
