...confirmation by the Senate over the fact that he once represented J. P. Morgan & Co., and a storm over the fact that he was then trying to prosecute-some said, to persecute-Senator Burton K.

Those who can neither read Plato is the original nor Harrah's is signs may appreciate the tremendous significance exhibited by snapshots of Cambridge candy kitchens; those who are able to do neither...

These bacilli thrive and multiply in a solution of sulphuric acid, needing no sunlight, prime requisite of most other plants. Self-sufficient in an inorganic environment, these bacteria may have been the link between the mineral and vegetable kingdoms...
