Pravda, official Communist Party organ, published a presumably meaningful story the same day: a New York Pole (D. A.

The Professor thought that this conclusion was bolstered by a strange finding: when he left a permanent magnet overnight in the weak acid, it lost about 10% of its power (permanent magnets normally lose strength very slowly...
