When the war was over, the Society went back to more scholarly pursuits. In 1948, members were involved with problems of uniqueness and interpolation in mathematics, and the magnetic moments of nucleii in physics. A biologist was working on slime molds, an historian on a History of Bukhara translated from the Persian, and a sociologist on a study of modern radicalism. Today, the humanists are still holding strong despite the tendency of the scientists to swamp them. One is now informally attending the Law School to get background for medieval constitutional history. Another is trying to make some "connections between...
...Angeles air (collected on both smoggy and clear days), the experimenters filtered out the chemicals. They painted the resulting goolon the backs of black mice. In little more than a year, 29% of the surviving mice developed malignant tumors. From gasoline-engine exhausts the researchers prepared a similar slime: 26% of the mice got cancer. Identical mice, under the same conditions but unpainted, showed not a single tumor...

He rarely mentioned the President, and he ignored the Administration's accomplishments, but carried on his guerrilla campaign to get the Administration...
...impression on ghost fashions; e.g., some current phantoms do not bother to represent anything at all but simply join the victim in bed on a dark night, remaining strictly intangible and indefinable. The advance-guard ghosts in this collection include one which appears simply as a spot of green slime and goes "drip, drip, drip" on the sleeper's face, and another which disguises itself as a strip...
