Last week some 70 Moslems removed their shoes before climbing the stairs of their Brooklyn mosque, which until six years ago was a Tammany clubhouse, before that a Protestant church. Today the clean, shiny mosque looks like a Polish church, decorated in pink, yellow and blue, the Moslem star & crescent festooned with painted roses and daisies. This is natural since its swart, thick-accented Imam, Sam Rafilowich, son of an Imam in a Polish village, is a Polish Tartar, who arrived in the U. S. 29 years ago. Most of his habitual worshippers are also Tartars, descendants of Tamerlane...

...beneficial instead of harmful if artfully managed. Lately the biological and medicinal possibilities of cyclotron products have loomed increasingly large on the scientific horizon. In a malodorous room near the cyclotron chamber at Berkeley are stacks of cages containing white rats, labeled by splotches of blue, yellow or pink paint on their backs. These animals have been made cancerous by implantations of cancerous tissue. Preliminary experiments tend to show that neutron bombardments have a selective effect on cancer cells five times as strong as that of X-rays...
