In the Cretaceous period, 100,000,000 years ago, the leaves almost invariably were wedge-shaped. Last week the Smithsonian Institution announced that Dr. Roland W. Brown had discovered, in a park near the White House, a ginkgo with leaves of this Cretaceous type. "It can hardly be looked upon otherwise," said the Smithsonian, "than as an atavism or throwback over a vast expanse of time...

Injury by heat, X-rays or mechanical means also caused the hormones to be released, and they were obtained not only from yeast cells but from liver, kidney, embryo and other tissues. Dr. Sperti therefore decided that he had come upon a general phenomenon associated with cell injury. Since one effect of the hormone was to multiply cells rapidly, it seemed possible that unknown hormones of the same type might be the cause of the unhealthy cell proliferation which constitutes cancer. But since the fluid from radiated yeast brought about normal, not abnormal cell proliferation, the prospect arose of using...
