...natal influence was in the news last week. At Los Angeles City College, Psychologists Johnette Dispense and Richard T. Hornbeck injected small doses of electrical current in the uterus of female rats, then tested the maze-running intelligence of their offspring against that of undosed rats with the same fathers. Result: when a mother rat got a dose of one milliampere from the cathode (negative pole), the odds were 383-to-1 that her litter would be superior in intelligence; a dose of two milliamperes had the opposite effect-the litter was inferior (61-to-1). Doses from the anode...
Psychologists Dispense and Hornbeck could not explain their results but thought that most probably the current had produced chemical changes in the mother rats' hormones. They based this theory on evidence that 1) an electrical current in body fluids produces acid at the anode and alkali at the cathode, 2) douching female rats with acid and alkaline solutions seems to affect their offsprings' intelligence in much the same way as electricity...
...Army seem to have stiffened his humanitarian fiber. Never a bossy boss, he leaves his assistants much to their own devices.
