Alongside the medical research to learn just what ACTH can do and how it works...
This was more than the research society could stand. In the name of Dr. Brewer, the "tormentor" of the caption, the society's lawyer filed a $1,000,000 libel suit against Publisher Hearst and the Herald-American, brought suits in Chicago's Federal District Court on behalf of two other members. This week the society announced that two more suits would be filed, boosting the grand total in damages sought to $2,900,000. If they collect, the plaintiffs said they would use the money to make a movie depicting the medical advances achieved through vivisection. Said...
Department of Research. In its three hectic years, AEC has grown into something very like a federal department of research. Its three great national laboratories (Brookhaven on Long Island, Argonne at Chicago, and Oak Ridge, Tenn.) are becoming major centers of scientific life. Smaller AEC laboratories are sprouting up all over the country. At present the program employs about 6,500 scientists and technicians. On the vital problem of personnel, the report, signed by Chairman David E. Lilienthal and his four fellow commissioners, commented significantly: "The morale situation has recovered from a very low point...
...Wings. AEC is deep in medical research. In preparation for the coming atomic age, it is studying the effect of radiation on man and other living organisms. This involves basic work on body cells and their chemistry, for radiation kills cells by causing subtle chemical changes inside them. At Argonne, AEC scientists are irradiating small bats and examining their tissue-thin wings under high-power microscopes, to study the effects of radiation on blood and its delicate corpuscles...
There is hardly a science that has not felt the touch of AEC. The commission is working on new alloys and other materials for the atomic age. It is deep in cancer research. Its program of making and distributing isotopes, both radioactive and stable, has worked a genuine revolution in U.S. science...
