...Wacker reported that the organism--grown either in light or in darkness--develops "profound and complex lesions" when the growth medium is deficient in the trace metal, zinc. Under such conditions, Dr. Walker noted, growth was severely limited and cell division was halted. The cell size increased eight-fold under conditions of extreme zinc deficiency...

As a Congregationalist medical missionary in China ("Medicine was the means that I could bear witness") from 1925 to 1931, Judd barely escaped execution by Chinese Communists.

But these similarities aside, Henry Moore's latest sculptures show him much changed since his last Manhattan show in 1954. His surfaces are rougher, his figures more ungainly, and almost every trace of his former elegance appears to have vanished. This may or may not be progress, but it is still a logical progression. Moore is such a consistent artist that every step he takes flows naturally from the one before...
