Under Dr. Florey's dynamic super vision, the blue-green penicillium mold began to grow again. The researchers dis covered that the best growing temperature is about 75° F.,that the mold needs plenty of air. At first, Dr. Florey's researchers got only about a gram of reddish-brown powder (the sodium salt of penicillin -penicillin itself is an unstable acid) from 100 liters of the mold liquid. But at last, after heroic chemical cookery, they accumulated enough penicillin to test the drug on living creatures...
...used to-but you still have a tremendous interest in the world around you-for not only do you read TIME every week, but you buy two daily newspapers as well -spend 38.4 minutes a day looking through them. You ' listen to the radio commentators (Raymond Gram Swing, Lowell Thomas and Fulton Lewis Jr. are your favorites). You own 241 books, buy eight more every year (TIME subscribers buy about one-eighth of all the adult, non-technical books sold in the U.S.). Your three favorites last year were They Were Expendable, Berlin Diary and See Here, Private Hargrove...
Modern scientists have been able to study ever smaller particles of matter. Recently the pursuit of the infinitesimal reached a new vanishing point. An R.C.A. microphysicist developed an instrument which can analyze the atomic composition of a particle as small as a millionth of a billionth of a gram...
Usually available only in minute quantities (the average request is for a single gram), these chemicals are ordinarily left overs or by-products of chemists' experiments. Their value runs as high as $1,000 a gram, but in most cases chemists supply them free, expecting reciprocity. As go-between, Heeren often conducts negotiations between parties who remain anonymous lest they give away trade secrets by revealing that they are working with a telltale material...
...Basis of Peace. These encyclicals laid the basis for the Church's peace pro gram. But no Pope has summarized more forcefully than Pius XII the Church's position on the social issues upon which peace depends. In a soth anniversary broadcast of Rerum Novarum (June 1, 1941), Pius XII brought that position up to date in a series of powerful assertions...
