...tough, Lew Ayres acts quietly and naturally, but he is not a light-heavyweight, not even a distant likeness of a pugilist: in spite of his efforts to make prominent the muscles of his slender body, greased to show high relief under the lights, one never loses the suspicion that his manager, Robert Arm- strong, an athletic young man who looks something like Jack Sharkey, could slap him over anytime for no purse. Absurdities include a gymnasium shot in which a training fighter swings wildly at his spar- ring partner's chin for several minutes in an effort to knock...
...glassy sea of crime fiction this book bursts up like a breaching sea-serpent. . . . If you have a sneaking suspicion that the general run of detective stones are drab, mechanical, unconvincing ?in short, not so well done as they might be?read The Glass Key and have your suspicion confirmed.

...Professor Voegtlin and Dr. Harold W. Chalkley, an associate, that glutathione might be a contributing cause of cancer. Forthwith they immersed amoebae (single- celled animalcules) in a glutathione solu-tion.* The amoebae reproduced themselves by subdivision (as all cells do) with extraordinary ease, confirming the Voegt-lin-Chalkley suspicion that perhaps the rampant growth of cancer cells is attributable to glutathione, and suggesting that glutathione in the body might be Cancer's nemesis...
