...ancient pseudo-science of chiromancy. Doctors Alfred R. Hale, John H. Phillips and George E. Burch examined the palm prints of 287 patients, half of whom had congenital heart defects and the other half heart disease acquired later in life. They knew that myriads of tiny creases called axial tri-radii are formed in the palm during the first four or five months of fetal development and, like fingerprints, remain unchanged for life. (These intricate patterns bear no relationship to the impermanent palm lines gypsies call heart, head and life lines.) What the doctors suspected was that disturbances that cause...
They were right. In the A.M.A. Journal, the research trio reported that the tri-radial crosshatches of congenital heart cases were etched nearer the center of their palms twice as often as those who had developed heart disease later. The pattern also tended to be more disorganized in the hands of congenital heart patients-a possible result of the same mysterious mechanisms that cause abnormalities to develop in the fetus...
Corrigan got a Lao-language daily newspaper started on a Mimeograph machine, built the King a radio station (advancing part of the money for equipment himself), was trying to get a library going.

...market was a Schwartz offering of dehydrated firefly tails at $5 per gram as a sensitive test for ATP-adenosine tri-phosphate-a vital chemical that is found in nearly all living cells. When ATP is added to an extract of firefly tails, the solution lights up, and the amount of light given off is proportionate to the amount of ATP. By measuring the light, the ATP can itself be measured...
