...photographed for FSA's mountainous camera files. Department Chief Stryker and his assistants looked at 15,000 prints before they found the perfect 20. Then they took a face from one photograph, a sky or a piece of building from another, joined them together like pieces of a mosaic, and enlarged the results until they were several times life size. The photographs came from U.S. scenes as far apart as Boulder Dam and Vermont. The battleship at the top came from the picture files of LIFE; airplanes came from the Paramount picture I Wanted Wings. The California farm worker...
Unfinished Business is a mosaic of wisely done camera sequences. Irene Dunne, a small-town Midwestern voice teacher, has come to Manhattan for adventure and a career. Saddened by her unrequited love for Foster, a wealthy wolf, she flunks her operatic try out. As she departs, she is told that her voice is good, that there must be a place for it somewhere. In a flick of the camera lens she is singing happy-birthday messages into a telephone from a telegraph office...
...these pictures appear this week in public for the first time-released in the Journal of Biological Chemistry by Wendell Meredith Stanley and Thomas F. Anderson of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research at Princeton. The huge, self-reproducing molecules here pictured are the cause of the mosaic disease of tobacco plants - viruses similar to those which cause such human ills as smallpox, influenza, infantile paralysis...
...slide was shown by Wendell Meredith Stanley of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research to the annual meeting of the Society in Philadelphia. It was a picture of the virus which causes the mosaic disease of tobacco plants, one of the largest molecules known to chemists. It is a rod-shaped structure, about 40,000,000 times the size of the hydrogen atom (basic unit of atomic and molecular weight). But even at this size it could be photographed only with the recently developed electron microscope (TIME, Oct. 28), which by using electron beams instead of light can magnify images...
Stanley and Thomas F. Anderson of R.C.A., who did the micrography, also showed a picture of a tobacco mosaic molecule about to be destroyed by an encircling legion of antibodies manufactured in the bodies of rabbits in which the virus had been injected. The pictures confirmed Stanley's theoretical reckoning that this molecule is about 20-millionths of an inch long and three-fifths of a millionth of an inch in diameter...
