Last week a research physician named Bruce W. Halstead was hard at work at the College of Medical Evangelists in Loma Linda, Calif, sorting out a mass of puzzling data and trying to find answers. In his laboratory, four assistants were slicing little samples from the flesh, liver, intestines and gonads of a batch of frozen fish from Johnston Island. After grinding and centrifuging, a cubic centimeter of fluid from each sample was injected into the belly of a mouse. If the sample was weakly poisonous, the mouse got sick but lived; a moderately poisonous sample should kill it within...
...paintings of Sloan's last 20 years are still unpopular. They lack the unbuttoned ease of his early, reportorial pictures. In age he stuck largely to studio nudes, developed a new and weird technique of circling the painted flesh with hundreds of scratchy red pin stripes to "clinch the form...

The female is as deadly as the male, but is hampered by huge, pendulous breasts that she tosses over her shoulders when she wants to move in a hurry...
