...injected India ink or other opaque fluids into its arteries (to make the blood flow visible) and watched the results by X ray. The experiments soon solved the "crush syndrome" mystery: prolonged pressure on the leg arteries produced spasms of nearby blood vessels, which, among other things, blocked the normal circulation in the kidneys...
...item in Big Steel's earnings statement was an extraordinary additional charge of $6,700,000 (a boost of 30% over normal) for plant depreciation. New York's jumpy PM promptly jumped on it, cried that the $6,700,000 was profit that Big Steel had hidden to excuse its boost in prices. Olds conceded that the item was not "presently" deductible for tax purposes.* Thus in the eyes of the U.S. Treasury, it might be considered profit. But Olds claimed that the depreciation was warranted by recent increases of far more than 30% in the cost...
...well had it done? The first Republican Congress in 16 years had done its work in an atmosphere supercharged with politics.

The Both had committed its share of sins, and demonstrated the normal leaning of Congress toward mediocrity. It also had had moments of decision, restraint and even greatness...
...Oxford's Gerontological Research Unit, Dr. Korenchevsky is working tirelessly on the problem of extending man's life span. Says he: "Science and medicine will not rest until they solve the riddle of what is normal aging . . . and the normal span of life." Last week the doctor told an international conference of physiologists at Oxford that he had thoroughly explored, and exploded, one highly touted hope against old age: the male hormone, testosterone. Giving testosterone to an old man, he said, is like whipping a tired horse; it may lash him to a quick and fatal collapse...
Female ticks are deadlier than males. They gorge themselves to the bursting point (five or six times normal size) and, if disease carriers, are just as dangerous to the tick picker who pops them as to the victim whose blood they suck. The male is flatter, smaller, less greedy. When he is sated, he noses around the host until he finds a feeding female, mates with her on the spot, moves away to start all over again. When the female is completely engorged, she drops off, finds herself a cranny to lay her eggs in (5,000 at a time...
