...Renouard, "Dean" of American Embalmers" and founder of one of the country's best embalming schools has put the Rodriguez formula to the test. "I'm an antique in a dead business," says' Renouard, "and I don't care what's in the liquid as long as it works." A well-preserved 82 himself, Renouard used the formula on 20 bodies, even kept ten of them for a week in a well-heated room. "Dr. Rodriguez," said he, "has made a real find...
There was no way to get the dried blood out of the tubes, so the lab ground up glass, blood and all into a powder, then added liquid and strained the mess. Dr. Novy was as amazed as everybody else when he found that the liquid contained live virus, still capable of killing rats after 30-odd years of desiccation. Now, with younger assistants, Dr. Novy is back at work trying to find out what the virus may mean...
...billion was about 30% of the gross national product of $58.3 billion. In 1945 the debt was 20% bigger than the gross national product.

...m.p.h. and puts it into an elliptical course which swings down toward the atmosphere. In its outer fringes, 50 miles up, air resistance heats the rocket's skin and wings to a brightly glowing red (1,300° F.), but the crew, protected by insulation and liquid-cooled windows, do not feel the heat. The ship glides on, part meteor, part airplane. Gradually its energy is dissipated; it spirals down, slows to subsonic speed and lands at its base, says Von Braun, at an easy 65 m.p.h. The crewmen step out for a Coke at the space pilots...
