...Even in tiny doses, hormones are enormously powerful. And in the minutest quantities, radioactive elements can be "watched" as they travel through the body. To combine these two virtues in a single substance, the National Institute of Arthritis and Metabolic Diseases is sponsoring a project to manufacture about one gram (1/30 of an oz.) of radioactive cortisone. The Institute will put up $66,000 for Montreal's Charles E. Frosst & Co. to do the tricky manufacturing job of building cortisone with an atom of radioactive carbon-14 in Ring A of the molecule. As many as a hundred research...
...duties as presi dent of the Central Conference of American Rabbis have taken me to scores of communities. I cannot recall one where improved relations were reported. In practically all of them, tensions were on the rise." Some of the reasons, as Bernstein sees them: the intensified Catholic pro gram for parochial schools, Cardinal Spellman's controversy with Mrs. Roosevelt in which he denounced her for bigotry, Harry Truman's designation of General Clark as ambassador to the Vatican.

Camera Chase. To learn the new job, some newspaper-owned stations, such as the New York Daily News's WPIX, the Chicago Tribime's WGN-TV and the Fort Worth Star-Tele gram's WBAP-TV, have set up separate TV desks, with a staff of newsmen and newsreel and TV cameramen.

...metals occur in concentrations as small as one millionth of a gram in a cubic centimeter of blood. Until ten years ago, it was regarded as impossible to make accurate measurements of these minute quantities. But recent advances in microchemistry and emission spectroscopy have yielded results accurate to two percent...
