Said Hugo di Pietro, Peronista labor boss: "This is a time for reconciliation. There will be no church issue." Though most priests still wore cautious mufti in the streets (Argentines vied in trying to spot them by their black socks and clumsily knotted neckties), some ventured boldly out in cassocks.

Meanwhile, Caltech biologists have been probing their own areas of the invisible. Geneticist Alfred H. Sturtevant described the linear order of genes; Calvin B. Bridges provided proof for the chromosome theory of heredity. In determining that genes...
...colorful costumes the performers move with an case that is a pleasure to watch. The addition of dance and masterful choreography was D'Oyly Carte's great contribution to Gilbert and Sullivan, a contribution often ignored or largely forgotten in local stagings of the duumvirate's works.
