...know what I'd like to do when I retire?" Ted asks, punching a finger at the Journal by way of a hint. "This stuff. I'd like to know enough about stocks to be a regular trader. I've got some blue-chip stocks myself-I don't guess I'll ever be taken in-but I wish I had more education." Ted won't say how much he has to invest ("Naw, that's part of my privacy!"), but he has made around $550,000 from baseball and from such outside...

Yvette was glad enough to have left Jane behind...
...Walter, one of Britain's leading physiologists, does not think Elmer ana Elsie are entirely reliable tools for studying the human nervous system. But they have given him one good hint, he says. The human brain has something like ten billion nerve cells. Elmer and Elsie have the equivalent of only two, but even with this simple equipment, they give a lifelike performance. This observation suggests to Dr. Walter that the cells of the human brain may act in large groups, rather than independently. "In fact," he says, "it is possible that the brain may not be quite...
