...work there as a biomechanical assistant to Nobel Prizeman Alexis Carrel. Dr. Carrel was trying to keep human organs alive for long periods so that physiologists could study their reactions piecemeal. For more than 100 years physiologists had tried to do so, with no real success, ever since Frenchman Julien-Jean-Cesar Legallois (1770-1814) predicted: "If one could substitute for the heart a kind of injection ... of arterial blood, either natural or artificially made . . . one would succeed easily in maintaining alive indefinitely any part of the body."

Claiming to be "obsessed" with Millet's Angelus, he showed variants of the motif with wheel-headed gleaners picking up forks and a poached...
...pawnshop bonds, urged the desirability of doing so, mentioned Bayonne. As the scandal burst last week Premier Chautemps called to his office Letter Writer Dalimier, now Minister of Colonies. "I signed that letter purely as a matter of form," protested M. Dalimier. "I was asked to do so by Julien Durand[then Minister of Commerce] and all the world knows that the bonds of a French Crédit Municipal are supposed to be good!" Thrice asked for his resignation, M.
