...Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists which met at Princeton with Professor Albert Einstein as chairman. Possibly it was felt that these suggestions could be roughly lumped under a "World Government" label and were, as such, old stuff. And that the mention of Professor Einstein's name, which once could inject palpitating interest into any news story, has lost its striking edge through his previous pronouncements on the subject. The press is also not always proff against the frame of mind which watches without alarm while former hardware tycoons shape our diplomatic fortunes, but which dismisses all social thinking by scientists...
Perhaps subsequent meetings will inject ramifications and contradictions to justify your reporter, but he was not able to approach, what was undoubtedly the most powerful and provocative work on the program of the expert Walden String Quartet "untroubled," as Mr. Sessions would have it, "by preconceived notions...
...around the barrier, thought Dr. Stern, why not inject medicines directly into the nerve centers in the brain? She first tried this dangerous experiment on dogs, got some astonishing results. Calcium solutions, injected into the blood stream in large doses, act as stimulants. When Dr. Stern injected a few drops of a calcium salt solution into a dog's brain, the effect was exactly opposite to the one expected: instead of being stimulated, the dog tottered, collapsed, in a few minutes fell fast asleep. When she injected potassium phosphate, the dog had a case of frenzied jitters...
...nations of east Europe and China, the United States is interested in the stimulation, the encouragement of the groups of students who will fashion their peace out of the sure mechanism of reason and not from the unstable crucible of hunger-induced irrationality. This country is determined to inject stability into these areas of extreme restlessness, but the stability is not to be the rigidity of paralysis, but the dynamic of steady reconstruction. On this healthful positivism, on the ability of young Greeks, Poles, Austrians and Chinese to break the hunger hold that constricts reconstruction, lies the peace of Europe...
...prove pregnancy in its early stages, obstetricians generally use a simple urine test. In the Aschheim-Zondek test, they inject a female mouse with a urine specimen; in the Friedman test (faster and easier to read), a virgin doe rabbit gets the injection. If the patient is pregnant, hormones in the urine produce easily detectable changes in the animal's ovaries. The Friedman test, which takes two days to complete, can spot pregnancy with 98% accuracy* ten days after the first missed period...
