...about a brand-new horror. At year's end Delacroix' place would be up for sale, and rumor had it that a nightclub was dickering for the property. The Société felt that Delacroix, who had been a close friend of Chopin, would conceivably have found le jazz hot even weirder than the art of his modernist descendents...
...Bell had not identified the paralytic factor when he found a way to get rid of it. All he knew was that it was contained in the brain tissue of animals (usually rabbits) from which the vaccine is made. The trick was to dissolve the brain tissue without killing the factor which prevents rabies. His years of work led to a tedious, complicated process in which the infected brain tissue is repeatedly dissolved, chilled, suspended, centrifuged and filtered until a "washed vaccine," untainted by the paralytic factor, is left...
Every time Fleur Fenton Cowles tried to tell her publisher-husband, Gardner Cowles, about the kind of monthly class magazine she would like to start, she found herself repeating: "It's got to have flair."

He made a note of the place, but did not return until the summer of last year, when he found an odd-looking bone sticking out of the dry dirt. He confided in Dr. Glenn L. Jepsen, Princeton professor of paleontology, who was deep in some digging of his own at Polecat Bench a few miles away. The professor was delighted: old bones associated with arrowheads...
