With them in hand or enveloped, Dakar to the south of Casablanca could safely be left for later disposal, and the larger objectives of the U.S. entry into North Africa could unfold: first the joining of the U.S. forces in the northwest with the British in Libya, then the destruction of the Afrika Korps, the re-establishment of Allied mastery over the southern Mediterranean and finally assault on southern Europe...
...blood as antibodies, ready to attack any later enemies. Hence immunity. Pauling and Campbell made their artificial pneumonia antibodies from serum globulin extracted from beef blood. Steps in the process: 1) the globulin molecules were heated to 135° F. for two weeks to make their structures "unfold"; 2) a complex sugar secreted by the pneumonia type III bacteria was added to the flask; 3) the solution was slowly cooled so that the molecules folded up again. But influenced by the bacterial sugar, the folding molecules assumed a modified structure in the flask, just as they would in the blood...
...their experiments, the researchers induced serum blobulin molecules 1) to "unfold" their structures by treatment with heat or alkalis in the presence of antigens, 2) then to fold up again. The researchers believe that the antigen influences the molecule to assume a modified structure in the flask, just as it would in the blood stream...
Rings, Bells, Blocks. Dr. Gesell discovered that all infants unfold in a strict pattern of activity. He developed a number of delicate tests which normal babies should be able to pass at a given age. If a baby deviates from the biological schedule, Dr. Gesell claims that a doctor can tell that something is wrong. The tests take only ten to 20 minutes, can be easily mastered by all doctors. They require such simple equipment as colored rings, a rattle, blocks, a pellet and bottle, a bell, a string, paper and crayon, etc. A few examples of normal behavior...

A patient who is obsessed by death, for example, may forget his terrors when he acts the part of a grocer or salesman. The little dramas unfold as spontaneously as children playing...
