...sleep till Memorial Hall chimes ring and make your 9 o'clock class. You can eat the best food in the College as immense inter-house eating lines attest. You can swim in the only House pool. And you can test your attitude toward parietal rules against the challenge of a dozen unguarded gates. In short, almost everything prospective House residents want, Adams claims to have...
...case, the spring trip is not a fair test of Crimson ability. All three enemy squads have been practicing outside since the first of March. True, Maddux has had three dozen players working out in the Cage since early in February, but indoor work does little more than get the men in shape and teach the coach their names. In addition, lacrosse is a major sport down Chesapeake way, almost as big as football, with crowds of three and four thousand spectators not uncommon...
Porphyrins. A test that may also make treatment easier was described by Dr. Frank H. J. Figge, of the University of Maryland. He set out to find a way of carrying radioactive isotopes directly to a tumor without damaging the rest of the body on the way. Experimenting with porphyrins, which are fluorescent substances found in the body in minute amounts, he found that they went directly to cancer tissue. Since they stay on its outer limit and since they glow under ultraviolet light, they neatly outline the tumor. The porphyrins could, Dr. Figge found, carry zinc on their journey...
...little farther toward showing just how cancer cells and normal cells differ. Drs. P. C. Zamecnik, I. D. Frantz Jr., and R. B. Loftfield tagged a protein-building amino acid called l-alzmine with the isotope, watched what cancer tissue and normal liver tissue did with it in test tubes. They found that cancerous livers absorbed the amino acid much faster than normal livers. Eventually, their experiments might help explain why cancer cells grow disastrously faster than normal cells...
Last week's primary in New Hampshire -the first test of 1948-illustrated their point. Tom Dewey won six delegates-no less than he had expected. Harold Stassen won the other two-no more than actually expected. Each side was satisfied. Dewey's organization power was proved again. So was Stassen's vote appeal; Stassemen led in almost every town and hamlet in which he had done some personal campaigning. But in New Hampshire there was no real bandwagon enthusiasm for either...
