Dissection in Secret. Curator A. (for Alpheus) Hyatt Mayor chose 100-odd prints and paintings calculated to fascinate both students and medical men. Until Pollaiuolo, the only artists who seriously studied anatomy were the Greeks. Since dissection was forbidden by their religion, they carefully watched athletes in the gymnasia. Medieval art was less concerned with reproducing correct anatomical detail than with expressing the subject's inner light. Dissection was still frowned upon in those days (though doctors often carried it on in secret...
Defense Experience: In World War II, Wilson converted his industrial giant (Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Buick, Cadillac, Frigidaire, diesel engines, AC Spark Plug, Hyatt Bearings and 23 other divisions) to war production. G.M. made nearly one-fourth of all the tanks, armored cars and airplane engines produced in the U.S. during World War II, almost half of all the machine guns and carbines, two-thirds of all the large trucks. At war's end, Wilson reconverted G.M. to peacetime production at top speed and partially converted to defense production when the Korean war broke out. Today, Wilson...

Ward, once an inmate of a mental institution, has a record for kidnaping, robbery, narcotics and armed assault. Said Fox: "Earl Ward is a natural leader. He and the other boys are to be congratulated on the good faith with which they have bargained...
...Michigan State Prison at Jackson, 75 miles west of Detroit, exploded. Almost 200 of the prison's toughest convicts went wild in a disciplinary isolation block. Holding four guards as hostages, they wrecked their cell block, smashing everything in sight. Then, led by a robber named "Crazy" Jack Hyatt and an auto thief named Earl Ward, the rioting cons forced their way into other sections of the prison. They captured six more guards, swelled their forces to more than 2,500 with other released prisoners, some from hospital wards for the mentally dangerous...
