...close to half a million dollars from a stock issue and notes. (Fleet Streeters gossiped that Beaverbrook himself had invested in the paper, but both the Beaver's office and Brittain denied it.) Editor Brittain hopes to find a "new public" of 500,000 readers who are "the product of our largely extended universities [and] are repelled by the vulgarity which admittedly appeals to millions'' of readers of other British dailies...
...impossible to judge the progress of members at the Institute since the administration loads professors with neither restrictions nor requirements. Sometimes the product, as in the case of Eliot's play or von Neumann's calculator, is proof of time well-spent. In general, the permanent members can only trust their judgment to select men who will take full advantage of Institute facilities. Sojourns from the town of Princeton are encouraged, however, and Professor Miller has accepted several speaking engagements for the year, including a recent address on Yale's Jonathan Edwards...

Krebs had already shown that urea, the end product of nitrogen metabolism, is formed through a cycle of chemical reactions in the liver. Soon he was delving into a still more important cycle, by which products of sugar and fatty acids are broken down into a group of chemicals including pyruvic acid. This acid is oxidized or "burned" to form a go-between chemical now known as acetyl...
