...bill for three days, while they held the floor for 25 hours in the longest filibuster in the short history of the new Bonn Republic. The bill, they complained, is "reactionary" because it gives the workers only one-third instead of one-half of the voting power in the larger industries. The German Federation of Trade Unions (6,000,000 members) for the first time agreed to join with Schumacher's party in fighting Adenauer...
Finding out how the pieces fitted back together was much harder. Sometimes Sanger and his group would find in their analysis some substance that does not appear in the known chemistry of living things. This, they decided, must be a taillike fragment knocked off some larger fragment. They would shift it around, like a piece in a jigsaw puzzle, until they found a spot where it could be placed to form a familiar compound. Little by little, their picture of the insulin molecule took on detail. At last they were sure they knew where each building block belonged...
Reichel-Dolmatoff, turning to psychiatry for an explanation of such behavior, says the Kogi man's aversion to sex stems from a cult of love for a world-mother spirit. Kogis think life is only a larger womb than the one from which they sprang, and death only a return to the womb of the great All-Mother. Their aim is to put themselves "in balance" with the All-Mother-mostly by idleness in the uterine universe...
...their circulation staff fast enough. Last week the editors announced that circulation had passed 600,000, to make Presbyterian Life far & away the best-selling Protestant religious magazine in the world.

Last year it was one of the few big corporations to show a profit gain (7%) despite a 65% jump in taxes. Squibb's was another. On slightly larger sales than Mathieson, it earned $9,700,000, up 20% from 1950. Tom Nichols thinks that with such products as Squibb's new TB drug (TIME, March 3), he can pull up Squibb's profits still further. To do so in the fastest moving of all chemical fields...
