...Fallopian tubes to be patent, and a Hühner test showed normal sperm survival at two hours. The patient said her last period began June 8, so by Naegele's rule, the confinement was due about March 15. But her history was bad -a Latzko Caesarean section for Bandl's ring and toxemia-and we found a hydatid of Morgagni then. On pelvic examination, Skene's ducts were normal, but the left Bartholin gland was slightly enlarged. Chadwick's sign was positive. A Papanicolaou smear was negative. Her Aschheim-Zondek was positive...
Form Subsidies. These remain the Administration's biggest headache (see Agriculture), but the budget envisions a $600 million saving in nonrecurring expenses for the acreage reserve section of the soil bank program (which was not extended by the last Congress), as much as $179 million on rural electrification, and a big chunk of the $250 million being spent for agricultural conservation. Moreover, the Agriculture department's surplus estimates are based not on the balmy-weather bumper crops of 1958 but on the ornery-weather average of other years...
...Atlas that went into orbit (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS) is technically called a 1½-stage rocket-a single engine plus ground-fired boosters. When its two booster engines stop firing, the main body, propelled by the central sustainer engine, flies out of the short cylindrical after-section that carries the boosters (see diagram). With the boosters gone, the sustainer engine has less dead weight to carry into space. In this particular model, the sustainer was designed to burn 13 seconds longer than in the regular models. Without this extra thrust, needed to put the Atlas into orbit, it would have...
...decision will be made by taking a galaxy census in a large chunk of space so distant that the galaxies in it are seen on earth as they were 5 or 6 billion years ago. If the galaxies prove to be crowded closer together than they are in the section of space near the earth, the primeval atom will have won the contest-since, according to the cosmic evolutionary theory, the universe was much smaller 6 billion years ago and its galaxies were therefore closer together...
...years at San José State she sang in a small nightclub on weekends, and she began to develop a style. Says Cartoonist Walt ("Pogo") Kelly: "She was a real dish of Yo-Kan, a cute little, sweet little bean cake. She could have licked the brass section of Phil Spitalny's all-girl orchestra with one tonsil...
