...Turrou, 42, had been in the Bureau for nine years. Russian-born, an able linguist, he served in the Marines after the War and with Herbert Hoover's relief mission in Russia. In the Lindbergh Case, he helped dig up the ransom money in Hauptmann's garage, wangled samples of Hauptmann's handwriting to match with the ransom notes. When the dirigible Akron was abuilding, he grew a beard and became a laborer to detect sabotage. For his work on a white slave ring in Connecticut (40 convictions), he was advanced to the highest pay bracket...

When larger apparatus are built, entire human organs, such as pancreas, suprarenal, thyroid, and other glands . . . would manufacture in vitro the substances supplied today to patients by horses or rabbits...
...construction of larger pumps may lead to other applications of the method. For instance, diseased organs could be removed from the body and placed in the Lindbergh pump as patients are placed in a hospital. Then they could be treated far more energetically than within the organism, and if cured replanted in the patient. A thyroid extirpated in the course of an operation ... a kidney removed for tuberculosis, or a leg amputated for osteosarcoma, would perhaps heal under the influence of an artificial medium when living in vitro. The replantation would offer no difficulty, as surgical techniques for the suture...
