...most women, at some stages of the disease, breast cancer can be slowed down or actually made to shrink by the male sex hormone testosterone. But this has unwanted side effects, causing many patients to grow beards and develop deep voices. Some women, Dr. Segaloff noted, put feminine charm before health and life and refuse testosterone treatment. But recent research, notably at Manhattan's Sloan-Kettering Institute, has shown that when the body breaks down natural hormones, many of them have chemical descendants which are surprisingly potent, and sometimes in different ways from their parent substances...
...Oregonian plans to buy. The Journal refused to bargain separately, and the stereotypers walked off both papers, to be followed by members of all the other newspaper unions. At that point the executives, editorial-page writers, ad salesmen, secretaries and other nonunion employees of the Oregonian and the Journal put on yellow aprons and ran off a joint, jury-rig paper on Oregonian presses...
Editor George was himself a refugee. He fled Germany in 1933, arrived almost penniless in the U.S. in 1938, got a $15-a-month job editing Aufbau, then a four-page monthly put out by New York's German Jewish Club (now the New World Club, it still owns Aufbau).

His deeply felt Don Quixote seemed to overcome the world, as Philosopher Unamuno put it, "by giving [it] cause to laugh...
Dawkins soon found that U.S. football and rugby are as different as chalk and cheese. Rugger players wear no padding, kick on the run, cannot block downfield or throw a forward pass. When a back is tackled, he must release the ball so it can be put back in play by the nearest man. Playing for Brasenose College before a handful of fans scattered through bare wooden stands, Dawkins at first pulled a tyro's gaffes. He kept up a steady stream of American-style pepper talk until he learned that tradition allows only the captain to chatter encouragement...
