...such staunch Conservatives as the farmer and the squire- "The very backbone of England, Sir!" as more than one Margate Conservative stoutly said. In short, the Conference atmosphere last week was not 1936, but at least as far back as 1836. This fact made headlines because there was no "human interest" news about what the Prime Minister had had to say at Margate or about his pipe or his pigs. Stanley Baldwin was absent and absent too was the amiable humbug with which he has led Great Britain for so long, meandering down the winding path of least resistance...
Much of the uncertainty over the status of Australopithecus was due to his extreme youth. He was not more than six years old when he died. The jaw contained 20 milk teeth, four permanent teeth. Dr. Dart placed him at the base of the human evolutionary stem. But Sir Arthur Keith, while admitting certain manlike features, put him on the same branch with gorillas and chimpanzees, though on a separate twig. After several years the lower jaw was detached from the upper, and the crowns of the milk teeth were seen to be almost wholly human in form. Dr. William...
Finally, there's the band, something over one hundred, officials, seven counting the two guys who carry the ten-yard markers and the fellow who sticks the dart in the ground, about 60 former Human who played on the football team who are granted sideline seats, a bunch of kids, to sell programs of whom there are about 36, the coaches, and finally 37 Harvard players...
Last week two learned pharmacologists bickered politely over intestinal worms. The roundworm, which resembles the earthworm in form, is the most common parasite which infests the intestines of human beings. Children between the ages of three and ten are especially good hosts for these worms. Male roundworms grow four to eight inches long, females seven to twelve inches. In some cases as many as 1,000 have been found, but usually only half a dozen roundworms infest an intestine. They live on blood drained from the intestinal wall...
Because roundworms and earthworms look alike, from time immemorial the lethal effects of roundworm vermicides have first been tried on earthworms before application to humans. Only last spring Pharmacologist Glenn Llewellyn Jenkins of the University of Maryland, chemist and assiduous inventor of synthetic drugs, published an article in the Journal of the American Pharmaceutical Association on "Rational Use of the Earthworm for the Evaluation of Vermicides." This profoundly agitated Pharmacologist Paul Dudley Lamson of Vanderbilt University, caused him to write a vigorous rebuttal which Science published last week. Snapped Professor Lamson: "The human Ascaris [roundworm] is a parasitic animal living...
