While playing golf last week at Tokyo, Lieut. General George E. Stratemeyer, commander of U.S. Far East Air Forces, suffered a heart attack. This week he was under an oxygen tent in a Tokyo hospital. At 60, genial "Strat" was in no shape to carry on, would probably have to write finis to a fine military career, which began with his graduation from West Point in 1915, brought him to command of the Army Air Forces in the India-Burma theater during World War II and to his F.E.A.F. post in April 1949. The Pentagon quickly named...
...considerable bewilderment. None can now predict how the new weapons will react upon one another and upon older weapons. Another unknown quantity is their cost, which is sure to be high. But many advantages are gained by dispensing with the human crewmen, who need space, visibility, heating and cooling, oxygen and pressurizing apparatus. And the crew of the modern bomber is an expensive item itself; it takes money and time to train its members...
...attached more atoms, carefully choosing his reactions so that the atoms would fall in the proper places. After some 20 laboratory steps, his 22 Ibs. of original raw materials were reduced to 1/28 oz. of a genuine steroid. The compound's molecule has the steroid nucleus with an oxygen atom attached at one end and a carbome-thoxy (C02CH3) group at the other...
Chemist Woodward emphasized the fact that his new substance is not yet cortisone. He must add another oxygen atom in the proper spot, and must exchange his carbomethoxy group for a dihydroxyacetone sidechain. In the process it will also be necessary to alter the double bonds that now join some of the atoms in his steroid (see diagram). But Chemist Woodward's cautious colleagues agree that the toughest part of the job seems to be over...
...dozen years of riding rescue trucks, Eugene W. Fields, battalion chief in Omaha's fire department, tried to guard against every emergency. His trucks became hospitals on wheels with baby-delivery kits, oxygen masks, resuscitators, inhalators, iron lungs, ether masks, surgical gowns and sterile sheets. But Fields, a onetime Navy fire-fighting instructor, still fretted over occasional cases in which he had seen people choke to death while his crews probed blindly for something in the throat...
