Last week the volunteers returned to face the cancer researchers. Surgeon Arthur D.G. James of Ohio State University College of Medicine (cooperating with Sloan-Kettering in the study) injected Novocain, measured an inch and a half below the tattoo mark, and made a neat incision about an inch long across the arm. He folded back the skin above and below it, then cut out a little gobbet of flesh which embraced the site of the implant. All these biopsy specimens were flown to Manhattan for study. From some, it was found, all cancer cells had vanished within the week...
...patient sitting in the office of Drs. Corbett H. Thigpen and Hervey M. Cleckley in Augusta, Ga. was a neat, colorless woman of 25 who held herself primly as she described her symptoms in monotonous though cultivated accents and stilted language. Her name, for the purpose of the amazing case history now reported by the two psychiatrists in The Three Faces of Eve (McGraw-Hill: $4.50), is Eve White.

Shchukin had the good sense...
With the aid of huge flares, 30 parachutists made a night descent on Omodhos, a shiny white vineyard village of small, neat houses and narrow cobblestoned streets. Nothing looked more innocent. In the cottage of the village constable the parachute lieutenant walked in on a family scene: before a blazing fire the constable was helping a child with his homework while his wife tended a baby in a cradle. Another child crawled on the floor, and a grandmother was setting the table. But the lieutenant noticed that the fire had only just been lit. Kicking it apart, he found that...
