Students volunteering from Astronomy 1 and the Harvard Observatory will spend Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights observing and recording the Loenid meteor showers which appear annually at this time. Weather hazards and the variable nature of meteors make the success of the expeditions problematical...
...developer of BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guérin) vaccine for tuberculosis immunity; of peritonitis; in Paris. Helped by Veterinary Surgeon Charles Guérin, he produced a sluggish strain of tuberculosis bacilli from cattle, made a vaccine which was given to hundreds of thousands of French babes with apparent success. The harmlessness of BCG was violently challenged when 76 vaccinated German infants died of tuberculosis (TIME, Nov. 23, 1931).

But if one can believe the opinion of John Strachey, once a confidant of the higher-ups in the Labour Party, this success at the polls will bring surprise not unmingled with consternation to the Party leaders. And this apparent paradox is easily explained: for years it has been the face-saving excuse of Labour officials that though they had power, they had no majority, and therefore no chance of effecting the socialist legislation...
