...educators had made it clear that they were thoroughly fed up: the hunt for subversive influences on the campus had gotten out of hand (TIME, June 27). Last week, two more college presidents cried halt...
...discovery was one of the happy accidents that happen to sharp-eyed researchers. Dr. Symeonidis had fed 20 milligrams of progesterone, an ovarian hormone, to 25 pregnant rats. His purpose was to cause cancer; instead, the rats developed eclampsia. It was the first time the disease had been produced experimentally in animals. What Dr. Symeonidis had done was to throw the hormonal balance out of whack. Microscopic slides showed that the rats had suffered changes in liver, kidneys and placenta that human eclampsia patients suffer...
...wrote: "Phils are losing. I bet it's none of Eddie's fault," and on the same page, "I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal you."

...nitrogen. Chemically, nitrogen 15 is exactly like the common nitrogen 14. The cells cannot tell the difference. But since it is slightly heavier, nitrogen 15 can be measured accurately by a balky and expensive instrument called a mass spectrometer. If compounds containing nitrogen 15 instead of ordinary nitrogen are fed to cells, the scientists can tell with the mass spectrometer whether the cells have accepted them as food...
