...debunk Newton and Dr. Gee for the San Francisco Chronicle. He became suspicious when he got his hands on the rare, "unmeltable" metal which they claimed came from one of the flying saucers. It turned out to be nothing but pot & pan aluminum. Cahn could not get the complete proof against the men that the Chronicle wanted. But True Magazine, which once stated that flying-saucers "are real," last month ran a Cahn article questioning Newton's and Dr. Gee's credentials as experts...
...Busch-Reisinger Museum is brick-and-mortar proof that even the hatreds of war cannot break the cultural bonds between America and Germany. For forty years, the squat, white building whose tower catches the shadow from Memorial Hall has been the center of Germanism at the University. As such, it has been the target of the distrust and suspicion accompanying two wars and their aftermath's.

...that in experiments with mice he had had 60% failures. Next, he relied heavily on the theory that the ability of the male sperm to penetrate an ovum depends largely on the enzyme hyaluronidase, and argued that the hesperidin must counteract this enzyme. Actually, say physiologists, there is no proof that hyaluronidase is responsible for penetration of the ovum. Further, Dr. Sieve speculated that the hesperidin helps a layer of cells around the ovum to clump together and keep the sperm out; that too, say physiologists, rests on an unproved theory...
...work of an unknown artist for the home of a wealthy Pompeian gentleman some time between the earthquake of 63 A.D. and the searing eruption of Vesuvius 16 years later. The absorbent qualities of the porous volcanic gravel at that spot had kept the mural moisture-proof for more than 1,800 years...
