Most laboratory tests for pregnancy work on the same principle: detection of a key hormone, chorionic gonadotrophin, found in the urine of a pregnant woman. A concentrate of a urine specimen is injected into a test animal (frog, rabbit, mouse); if present, the hormone will cause a recognizable reaction in the sex glands. If there is no reaction, the patient is presumed not pregnant. But no method is foolproof-frogs injected only with distilled water have developed reactions. Some tests (e.g., the Friedman test using rabbits, the Aschheim-Zondek test with mice) are highly accurate, but require...

In July 1925 Walt married a girl named Lillian Bounds, who worked...
...generals consider him a bad commander for dashing about the battlefield "like a private." Even after the army has bowler-hatted him, human and humorous Scotsman Strang clings to his belief in the Many-Splendoured Thing-his phrase for honor, decency and civilization. British Author Marshall (The White Rabbit, Father Malachy's Miracle) keeps his story moving almost too fast. But he has a great ear for the speech of Scottish chorus girls, schoolboys, sergeants and generals.
