...matter how proficient at the blade, can make a crew. The 1938 boat has won its fame through its unison, its even body swing which is the foundation of the Bolles method. He has arranged it so that when well under way the shell will plane steadily with three feet of the bow completely out of water...
Obviously, the only solution at all practicable is cooperative action among the principle sellers and potential sellers of war material. This method has never been tried. In 1931 Britain, and in 1935, America, refused to cooperate. American indifference to world affairs has long been the chief stumbling block in the path of constructive peacemaking; and if this most recent demonstration of her vital position in the world has jolted public opinion but slightly out of its blind isolationism, it has been well worth while...
Like Biblical Gideon, who required three signs from the Lord before he went forth to smite the Midianites, University of Chicago's Professor Harry David Gideonse*is a skeptic and a warrior.

This made him a natural opponent of his chief, Chicago's President Robert Maynard Hutchins, who believes that there is a hierarchy of truths which transcends laboratory evidence...
...method of tissue culture and that of the culture of whole organs have provided us with the means of . .. . studying the food requirements of each cell type and of each tissue while active and at rest. Thus will be discovered the nature of the specific chemicals demanded by a given organ for its growth and normal function. Perhaps it may then become feasible to supply the living body with the substances indispensable to the development of any organ, or to its regeneration. Instead of injecting hormones into a patient, we .would supply the glands with appropriate nutrient substances and induce...

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...
