...shuddered when ... I looked at that face of Lewis on the front page. To think that a country like ours could produce such a specimen! I am not talking about his physical features, because no man can help that, but our lives are reflected in our faces as we grow in years, and . . . John L. Lewis has developed the cruelty of a man mad for power . . . who cares not what happens to the rest of humanity...

...basic difference between the quick & the dead is ability to grow. Biologists feel that if they could understand growth, they might understand what life is. But growth in nature is complicated. Within a growing cell are hundreds, probably thousands of chemical compounds, their molecules weaving in & out, exchanging atoms and energy. Like a nation, the cell imports (absorbs), exports (excretes), and is influenced by its environment: the innumerable chemical substances in the plant or animal juices outside its frontiers...
...cells grow for a day or so, "eating" the sugar and acid. They grow in isolation, uninfluenced by the complex substances which would normally reach them from the oat seed. Professor Thimann can experiment on them, and know what he is doing...
...cells, but stopped their growth by breaking a necessary chain of chemical reactions. Then, one after another, Thimann added likely compounds, hoping to see growth start again. He found that malic acid (which is found in apples) would overbalance the evil influence of iodoacetic acid, allowing the cells to grow. This proved that malic acid was somehow involved in the chain of reactions which the inhibitor had broken...
