...doctors, pharmacists and experts from the Home Office Forensic Science Laboratory, using 1,220 mice, 150 rats and 24 guinea pigs, to find out. After four puzzling days, a sharp-eyed pathologist found four injection marks in Mrs. Barlow's buttocks, two on each side. From each site he removed part of the underlying tissue for analysis, suspecting insulin. Barlow's boast had been half right: insulin is almost impossible to detect. But by extraordinarily ingenious methods described in the British Medical Journal, the drug sleuths found a way to prove that there had been 84 units...
Harvey Mudd's permanent faculty is young (average age: 34) and bright. Recruiting is not difficult for President Platt; in addition to the fine climate and mountain-valley site, the college pays excellent salaries and offers new faculty members the chance to spend part of their first year doing nothing but planning courses.

...from falling bombs. Local Nazis deemed the mothballing a show of defeatism, called it a crime as bad as flight from the enemy-until Allied bombers wrecked the dismantled building in a March 1944 raid. After the war, with a new, big Festival Theater built on its old Residenz site, the administration chose a neighboring spot in the former royal Bavarian Residence, and set about rebuilding the rococo house...
