...Youse. Readers admire Palooka because he is the kind of fellow a lot of them (including Cartoonist Fisher) would like to be. He is big, strong, good-looking and popular; his hefty right always triumphs, often over eye-gouging, foul-fighting opponents. He hobnobs with a lot of celebrities without getting stuck up. An inveterate name-dropper himself, stocky Cartoonist Fisher populates his strip with real people, e.g., Bing Crosby, Tom Clark, Jack Dempsey, and models many of his fictional characters on other celebrities. Humphrey Pennyworth, an engaging, potbellied giant, was inspired by Manhattan Restaurant-Man Toots Shor...

Many cancers involve vital organs that cannot be disturbed, or metastases which spread so quickly and widely throughout the body that the surgeon cannot find and remove them all. To deal with such cancers some agent is needed that has a strong "differential effect," i.e., that kills cancer cells without hurting normal tissue. A few such drugs are already known, but they are only a start, and not good enough...
Every week dozens of new chemicals come to Sloan-Kettering from commercial laboratories, chemical houses, university scientists and medical men. Each is catalogued and given a number (to head off charges of favoritism). The more interesting ones, thought to have strong biological effects, are tried on experimental cancers planted in white mice...
