...Fair Jury." The Communist protest was serious enough to give pause to trial-worn Judge Harold R. Medina. He recessed court for a day to consider the matter. Closer study, however, showed that Carol's diary was not the earth-shaking thing it purported to be. While Janney did complain often that he was tired of testimony about Marxism-Leninism, he added once: "I guess I'd be tired of hearing capitalist theory if they were talking about it . . ." Another time he said: "We have a fair jury . . . they won't be swayed or prejudiced by personal...
...present situation is to be found in the dislocation produced by two wars . . . Britain (apart from Germany) was the only country that fought right through both wars . . ." FOR BRITONS: "No other country is going to recognize any obligation to provide the British people with a living, no matter what their services ... in the common cause...
Last week the church of Affrico was still empty, and its doors still walled up. Don Luciano had not appeared. The archbishop, who could not with dignity knuckle under to the rebellious flock, had referred the matter to Rome. The stubborn Affricans were considering an appeal to the Pope.

Laurence, tipped off last spring by a chemist friend of the theoretical possibilities of the seed, read up on the subject and was deeply impressed by what he found. He discussed the matter with President Truman, who passed him on to Oscar Ewing, Federal Security administrator. U.S. scientists had already been ordered to Liberia to study the plants, collect seeds, and investigate the possibilities of large-scale cultivation there, or of transplanting to the U.S. After talking with Laurence, Ewing expansively declared that "this may be to chemistry what the atomic bomb was to physics," and asked...

In the Merck laboratories, the Strophanthus product, sarmentogenin (first isolated in 1915), had already been carefully considered. The synthesis of cortisone from sarmentogenin, a spokesman said, would be "an extremely difficult matter." Its chemical structure is similar to the 17th intermediary product in the current process, he admitted, but that similarity by no means assures that the end-product after further processing will be identical. So far no sarmentogenin, the product of the African plant, has ever been fully processed into cortisone...
