Only a few years ago, such honor and position would have been unthinkable for a Mexican woman. Until well into the 20th century, a woman's place was in the home-except during wartime, when she was expected to fight like a man. She could not get a passport on her own, could not buy, sell or manage property without the consent of her husband or father. She could not legally leave home until she was 30 (unless married), could not vote or practice law or medicine. As late as 1925, Archbishop José Mora y del Rio objected...
When the researchers took material from apparently healthy tissues of mouse cancer victims and injected it into fresh animals, the speed of tumor induction doubled. This suggests that, like many known viruses, the cancer-causing particles adapt themselves to grow in the new host species and may be widespread through the body...

Then came the signals, sounding like hoarse violin notes at A above middle C. By that time, 1 p.m. Moscow time Oct. 4 (6 a.m. New York time), Lunik III was already 67,000 miles from the earth. Britain's big radio station at Jodrell Bank, instructed where to look by a telegram from Moscow, picked up the signal too and held it for 20 minutes. Then the violin notes stopped suddenly...
...Future. British officials were not necessarily on the side of the missionaries; colonial administrators like to preserve native institutions in order to govern through them. But virtually all missionaries in Africa, Catholic or Protestant, agreed with London's Catholic Tablet that 1) Christianity should have the same freedom of action in Rhodesia that all religions have in England; 2) in religious matters, native missionaries should be as immune from tribal laws as white missionaries...
