...American College of Surgeons, central registry for such facts, has records of 29,195 people who have recovered from cancer. Last week six of them organized a Cured Cancer Club, elected as president an aggressive oldster, Dr. Anna Mary Chipman Palmer, 81, of Milton, Mass., who had a breast tumor excised 18 years ago. Their slogan: "We will drive away the fear that keeps so many people from going to a physician in time to be saved...
...time is abandoned, every body moving relative to another must have its own time specification as well as length, breadth, and thickness. Thus time becomes a fourth dimension added to the three dimensions of space. The consequences of the theory, when worked out mathematically, are that absolute motion, absolute mass and absolute dimensions must also be shelved. When a body is in motion relative to an observer, he would see (if he had instruments fine enough) that its length in the direction of motion is shortened, that its mass is increased. The increased mass must be due to energy...
...first experimental confirmation was the bending of starlight in the gravitational field of the sun, observed during a solar eclipse in 1919. Others are the "stretching" (increased wave length) of light from heavy stars, the conversion of mass into energy in the laboratory, the recoil of a body which emits light. Relativity also explains eccentricities in Mercury's orbit, which had remained a mystery under Newtonian mechanics. Atom-smashers who build cyclotrons (machines in which atomic projectiles are whirled by electric and magnetic fields) take into careful consideration the Relativistic increase in mass of fast particles. In brief, Relativity...
Most talk of a Japanese crackup, thinks Author Price, is wishful thinking. According to his observation, the practical Chinese accept Japanese rule far more willingly than is supposed. In Manchuria, where he accompanied a punitive expedition against "bandits," he found a stable government and currency, intensive beginnings of mass education ("strongly pro-Manchukuo but anti-nobody"), regeneration of former "bandits" by means of seed loans, roads, vocational guidance...
