...announcing baseball for 15 years, is so well known around Washington that he easily won the Democratic nomination for Congress (from Maryland) last June. His partner will be James Joseph ("Jimmy") Britt, a hustling 36-year-old who announces all Boston Red Sox and Braves home games in a fluid but spicy manner. Fans consider Arch and Jimmy among the best in the business, but they still like to hear the Corum drawl...

Conant's "Wanted: American Radicals," in the May 1943 Atlantic Monthly, "urged the need of the American radical not because I wish to give a blanket endorsement to his views, but because I see the necessity of reinvigorating a neglected aspect of our . . . development." Conant said that "the kernel of [this] radical philosophy" would be a "demand to confiscate [by constitutional methods] all property once a generation...

More radical, and probably more interesting to imaginative technicians, would be a motor using atomic energy direct. This would be possible if "fissionable material" could be made to "explode slowly" like the propellent material in a bazooka projectile.

With his needles Vorobiov and an assistant named Schabadach injected a solution of formalyn sublimate, skin-colored dyes and ordinary embalming fluid directly into Lenin's skin and tissue, centimeter by centimeter. The painfully minute "tattooing" operation took a month to finish. For years Schabadach made monthly visits to check the body's condition and add further injections as needed...
