...That old frog-throated scofflaw, Gambler Frank Costello (né Castiglia), still at large on $50,000 bail after appealing a five-year jail sentence for dodging 1947-49 income taxes, stood in grave danger of having his wings further clipped. Because he refused to testify about his activities in the U.S. before 1925 (when he became a U.S. citizen), a federal district attorney asked a U.S. court to denaturalize Italian-born Costello immediately...
...that some influence analogous to executive orders, moves from the nucleus to the obedient cytoplasm but the nature of the influence is a mystery. Last week at a Manhattan meeting of the National Academy of Sciences Professor Arthur W. Pollister of Columbia University showed electron microscope pictures of a frog's egg cell.

Dr. Pollister suspects that they are chemical memos ordering the egg to develop into a tadpole rather than into a mouse or a whale...

He is only 37, and wholly dedicated...
Hawkins qualified for the 100-yard butterfly event April 3 in a time more than a second slower than that of Leonide Baarcke of North Carolina. Baarcke used the new fishtail or dolphin kick, and Hawkins, the regular frog kick...
