...have been the first to do so. Thereafter numbers of other scientists saw and studied cells.** For a long time the mysterious little chambers of life were called by various names, such as "vesicles," "utricles" and "globules." Then Hooke's original name, "cell," came back into use, and stuck. By the time Schleiden and Schwann appeared on the scene, cells had been identified as independent units, one-celled plants had been discovered, the nucleus (G.H.Q. of a cell's organization) had been found, and the cell's method of reproduction (by division) ascertained...
Impossible Peace. John Lewis has never agreed with Franklin Roosevelt that C. I. O.-A. F. of L. reunion per se is a good & necessary thing for Labor. He had his tongue firmly in cheek when he was pushed into renewing peace talks last February, stuck it in further when he noted in Franklin Roosevelt's "invitation" a scarcely veiled threat to impose peace if none could be found by negotiation.

After the Mona Lisa vanished in 1911, a new confidence game flourished for a while: selling the "genuine" Mona Lisa to rich suckers who were unable to squawk when they found themselves stuck with copies instead of stolen goods.

The adjustment was fairly complete by 1929, when in an effort (successful) to stop smoking he went on a five-day binge...
...Captain Austin Eugene Lathrop, a building contractor turned shipmaster, sailed to Alaska from Puget Sound in the small steam schooner L. J. Perry. He sailed right into the Klondike gold rush. Instead of turning to pick & pan, however, Cap Lathrop stuck to his bridge and toted prospectors and their pokes. Nowadays, in rich Central Alaska, stout, furrowed, 73-year-old Cap Lathrop is the head man. He owns a big salmon cannery, a bank, a coal mine, an airplane hangar, three cinemas, two newspapers, a general store, apartment houses, and is a member of the Board of Regents of University...
