...murder: It was Britain's -perhaps the world's-first case of murder in which the aid of insulin was proved. Said the bewigged Mr. Justice Diplock: "But for a high degree of detective ability, [it] would not have been found out. Those responsible for the scientific research ... are to be very highly congratulated for [their] skill and patience." Barlow was sentenced to life imprisonment. The medical researchers are churning out bushels of data to help colleagues find the flaw in any such "perfect crime...
...Gordon Murray, 64, of Toronto's Gardiner Medical Research Foundation, reported going back to an old idea that had never paid off before: using animals to make an anti-cancer serum. He could not make it work in small animals, so he turned to the horse-a recognized and prolific factory for serum used against several diseases. Dr. Murray injected tissue from human cancers into his horses. When he figured that they had had time to make antibodies, he bled them, extracted the serum from the blood and injected it into human patients in gradually increasing doses over...
While space is being charted by the hour, the ocean deeps that cover 70% of the earth are largely unexplored. Last week the Navy, speeding its researches below the sea (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS) brought to the U.S. the best tool for the purpose in the world. Into San Diego harbor aboard a freighter from Italy came the tubby, homely little bathyscaphe Trieste, launched by Auguste Piccard and his son Jacques in 1953. Last summer the Navy rented the craft for research dives off Capri, recently bought it from the Piccards for $200,000. A new one would have cost...
Strange Sub. Trieste research on how to kill an enemy sub far down is likely to change depth charges considerably. There is little point in making them bigger; nuclear charges fall no faster than others and are more expensive. But a curious discovery is that more energy may be released when a sphere is collapsed under water than when it is blown outward against pressure. To measure this, Navy scientists once sent a 6-in.-diameter hollow ball 3,500 ft. to the bottom. Collapsed by a spring trigger when it hit, it exploded with as much force...
