...test his hunch, Lissmann touched the water with two electrodes connected with an oscillograph. When the two-way fish swam near, a series of regular electrial pulses showed on the oscillograph een. Then Lissmann dipped ends of a copper wire into .the aquarium. The little fish fled in terror, its radar apparently mistaking the wire for a bigger and hostile fash. It also fled from a wire carrying artificial electric pulses. But when Professor Lissmann fed its own pulses back into the water, the fish attacked the electrodes presumably taking them for a rival of its own species...
...leadership, not basic U.S. military strength, that has gone on trial in Europe's eyes since the Korean defeat. With the exception of the Gaullists of France, non-Communist Europeans generally have found MacArthur guilty of gambling the greater part of U.S. ground strength on his private political hunch that the Chinese Communists would not strike. Now they wonder whether the U.S. plans to involve itself still deeper against the Chinese on a hunch that Russia will not honor its mutual defense treaty with China. They wonder whether U.S. industrial capacity will be able to support a two-front...
Skinless but Normal. With little to lose in Gaines's case, Dr. Whitelaw decided the time had come to play a hunch. He ordered all other medication stopped. Then he began injecting his patient at six-hour intervals with 20-milligram shots of ACTH, the new synthetic hormone (TIME, April 10). Within five days the patient's most dangerous symptoms had vanished. He was resting comfortably, "a normal man," in the words of one doctor, "only without much skin...
Although he is no gambling man, the Rev. Owen Barrow, 40, a slight, blue-eyed Church of England clergyman, was willing to wager $33,000 on a hunch he had four years ago. His hunch: that Protestants of all denominations in the Canadian pulp & paper mill town of Marathon (present pop. 2,000) could worship together amicably in one church. Last week the wager looked as secure as Mr. Barrow's trim white clapboard Holy Trinity Church in Marathon. Anglicans, Presbyterians, Lutherans, Baptists, members of the United Church, the Greek Orthodox Church and the Salvation Army were joined into...
Last week Dr. Granirer gave striking evidence to the Society of Medical Jurisprudence that his hunch had paid off. A healthy woman after a normal delivery can readily spare some blood; from each volunteer, Dr. Granirer took about seven ounces. The plasma was pooled and about half a pint given to bedridden arthritis victims. After a few weekly transfusions, each recipient gained weight, lost pain and swelling, felt better in every way. By way of proof, Dr. Granirer showed movies of former cripples jumping rope...
