...reported the results of experiments made on the hunch. They anesthetized five immature male guinea pigs, made slits in their skins, pushed a disc-shaped ovarian hormone tablet, weighing from eight to 16 milligrams, into each slit, and stitched up the incision. There was no local reaction but a tight coat of connective tissue began to grow around the tablets. After six months the guinea pigs' male sex organs had atrophied, their rudimentary male mammary glands had become greatly enlarged. The tablets were then removed, dried, weighed. It was found that each guinea pig had absorbed from three...

I say 'come on now, for cripe's sake, snap out of it. Quit playing like a dope...
...still brash, explained that it had rented space in a building overlooking the ball park, argued that it had a perfect right to broadcast what it saw from its own property. Promptly the Pirates raised a canvas screen to shut off KQV's knothole. To plug the knothole tight, last week Judge F. P.
