...blood group (A, B, AB and O) tests cannot prove paternity, nor can they disprove it in every case, said Pathologist Barnes. If the tests of mother's and baby's blood indicate that the father's must be type A, the father could still be any man with type A. But that decisively acquits the 60% of men who have B, AB, or O blood.* Besides the ABO grouping of red cells, blood varies according to whether it contains a factor M (present in 30% of the population), N (in 20%), or both...
...most states when a man is accused by an unmarried woman of having fathered her child, the judge must play Solomon; with a jury, there may be as many as 13 Solomons. Kentucky is one of the states where blood-test evidence is admissible, but not binding, and in Chicago last week Dr. Malcolm L. Barnes, 47, told the American Society of Clinical Pathologists how well the system works in Jefferson County (Louisville and environs...

The best test of life is that the organism can make replicas of itself, taking as building materials the simpler molecules in the medium around it. The first organism to pass this divide between the living and the inert may have been a single complex molecule or a large cluster of them. This tiny, nameless primogenitor of all living matter may have used some primitive kind of photosynthesis to reproduce itself. Or perhaps it merely picked...
...barely more than a quarter of a century since Huxley had a vile vision of mankind's future, in which a scientific power elite of cads presided over a proletariat of test-tube-bred sub-morons kept happy on a tranquilizer called soma. The elite could dispose of heretics by sending them to exile in rockets. Huxley lived to see the title of his book, Brave New World, pass into common language as a wry cliche. Now he argues that his nightmare is becoming a waking reality. Looking about today, Utopiarist Huxley is appalled to find how obediently...
GENEVA, Nov. 16--A breakdown of the East-West negotiations on nuclear test suspension clearly became a possibility yesterday in view of rejection by each side of proposals put forward by the other. The United States rejected a Soviet plan on the ground the Russians sought to extract a promise to end tests without giving guarantees on a control system...
