Pursuing the search, Physiologist Williams found a substance apparently identical with the juvenile hormone in nearly every animal material from tenderloin steak to the human placenta. The richest source in any mammal seems to be the thymus gland, which is believed to control growth. Significantly, Williams found no trace of his golden oil in any vegetable...
...Physiologist Werthessen was doing experiments with baboons and their aortas to answer a host of questions about the effect of fats in the diet on the amount of fats (especially cholesterol) in the blood. In one especially tricky procedure he hooked up a baboon's freshly removed aorta with a heart-lung machine and used radioactive sodium acetate to find out how much fat is manufactured in the walls of the aorta itself. With a small branch baboonery at L.S.U., Dr. Holman was tackling related problems. Both hoped to get vital information with a direct bearing on human heart...
...them decide what type of man should be chosen to venture into space and how he should be trained, U.S. Air Force researchers turned to people who have been living for centuries at a way station toward space: the Indians of the High Andes. In San Antonio last week, Physiologist Robert T. Clark reported to the Second International Symposium on the Physics and Medicine of the Atmosphere and Space (see SCIENCE) that a valuable lesson has been learned from the Indians at Morococha (pop. 8,500), a mining town in Peru's central Andean highlands...
...David tried when he took the young Shunammite woman to his bed-though the idea won medical-intellectual backing in the 18th century, is now suggested obliquely by Lolita and Humbert Humbert. Neither have they any use for rejuvenators such as the animal-testicle elixir developed by British Physiologist Brown-Sequard, the severing of the seminal vessels advocated around 1920 by the Austrian Steinach, or the monkey-gland transplants of the long-lived (1866-1951) Serge Voronoff...
Died. John Broadus Watson, 80, pioneer psychologist ("behaviorism") and longtime (1924-46) advertising executive (J. Walter Thompson Co., William Esty & Co.); after long illness; in Manhattan. Borrowing from the work of Russian Physiologist Ivan Pavlov, Watson developed a theory that man's personality is merely a mass of conditioned reflexes, later turned his academic concept to cash as he mapped out early advertising campaigns (for Pond's Cold Cream) that exploited man's desire for personal prestige...
