...White Divinity. For two years he was rector of Christ Church in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. Then Pike went back to teaching-as chaplain and head of the department of religion at Columbia University. Out of his typewriter began to stream a series of religious books (eight so far), including Beyond Anxiety, If You Marry Outside Your Faith, The Next Day. Out of his mouth came the kind of trenchant talk that was rare in Episcopal pulpits. In 1952 New York's Bishop Horace W. B. Donegan appointed him dean of St. John's -the largest Anglican cathedral...
Into a Columbia University laboratory regularly stream shipments of one of science's grimmest raw materials for study: human bones. They come from the recently dead bodies of men, women and children all over the non-Communist world, including such outskirts as Chile, South Africa and Formosa. At Columbia's Lamont Geological Observatory, in a project financed by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, they go under the scrutiny of scientists who analyze the bones for strontium 90. Last week the project's three scientists, Drs. Walter R. Eckelmann, J. Laurence Kulp and Arthur R. Schulert, made their...
...Frankfurt's University Medical Clinic, said Dr. Pfeiffer, 78% achieved good control of their diabetes, and the benefit shows every sign of lasting. (Tolbutamide is not a substitute for the body's natural insulin. It apparently achieves its effect by boosting the release into the blood stream of insulin, which, in most adult patients, continues to be secreted by the pancreas.) Tolbutamide did no good from the start in 8% of cases. In a further 8% it had to be dropped because early good results wore off. A few patients gave it up because of side effects, usually...
...young Eastern lawyer complained to an old Texas judge about the Texas way with crime. "I don't understand Texas justice," said the lawyer. "You will suspend sentence of a convicted murderer, but you wall hang a horse thief." The old judge rang a spittoon with a stream of tobacco juice. "Sonny," he replied, "I reckon that's 'cause we got men that need killin' but we ain't got no hosses that need stealin...
...oceans make a great machine that distributes warmth and cold to many parts of the earth. By new, ingenious methods, IGY scientists are studying ocean currents, including those far below the surface. One of them flows under the Gulf Stream in the opposite direction. Even deeper, slower currents flow away from the Poles, carrying icy water along the ocean bottoms toward the equator. This water is rich in nutrient salts, so whenever it comes to the surface, as it does off Newfoundland and Peru, the sea boils with life...
