...sorry that two items were omitted from your article . . . First, the names of the students who were most closely associated with the isolation of streptomycin in 1943-Miss Doris Jones, Dr. Albert Schatz, Miss Elizabeth Bugie and Dr. H. Christine Reilly. Second, the fact that Dr. Dubos did his work on tyrothricin at the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, to which he was appointed after receiving his degree at Rutgers in 1927.

La Follette Jr. In 1947 Parker dug up, and Evjue delightedly splashed across his front page, the fact that McCarthy had been compelled to fork over some $3,500 in back income taxes on stock-market profits when the Treasury disallowed some of his deductions. Last week, it was Senator McCarthy's turn to rub both Evjue's and Parker's noses in some old muck of their...
