Motionless on a white-covered table, small and insignificant in the harsh brilliance of overhead lamps, a fox terrier listed in the laboratory records as Lazarus II lay last week in a gloomy old building on the University of California's campus. White-clad figures moved in & out of the glare, watching the creature they had asphyxiated with ether and nitrogen. Lazarus II's heart stopped beating and he no longer breathed. His shoe-button eyes were glazed. Lazarus II was dead...
When six minutes had elapsed since the last heartbeat, sallow young Dr. Robert E. Cornish moved Lazarus II to a seesaw-like device called a teeterboard. There he opened one of the terrier's thigh veins to admit a saline solution saturated with oxygen and containing the heart stimulant adrenalin, the liver extract heparin and some canine blood from which the fibrin (coagulating substance) had been removed. While he breathed gustily into the dog's mouth, his assistant rubbed the kinky-haired little body, rocked it on the teeterboard. The stimulant solution sank in a glass gauge...

Oscar was thrice Minister to Turkey and Theodore Roosevelt's Secretary of Commerce & Labor-first Jew to sit in the Cabinet. It was Isidor's three sons who pushed Macy's sales to nearly $100,000,000 in 1929 and held them to $80,000,000 last year. The eldest grandson, Jesse Isidor, who insists on having his middle name spelled out and who contributed heavily to the Democratic campaign, resigned as president to serve...
