...like to see an involved, if improbable, tale cleverly unraveled, Piper Paid should have genuine appeal. A near-suicide, two bogus psychiatric tricks and a great deal of hysterical acting by Edith Barrett wind up an anecdote whose moral seems to be that no matter how much devilment a woman may cause, if she suffers loudly enough she may be judged to have made recompense...
...minute a woman becomes pregnant certain hormones appear in her urine. If she wants to make sure of her pregnancy and can afford the expense, she may send a vial of her urine to her obstetrician. He will have a laboratory associate condense the specimen and inject some of it into the belly of a $1.50 virgin rabbit or a 20? virgin mouse.

...certifying pregnancy. Drs. Aaron Elias Kanter, Carl Philip Bauer and Arthur Herman Klawans use a little carp-like fish which costs only 30?.

...daughter was even stronger. When his time was up she insisted on going with him, though he made it clear to her that he was only a visitor on earth, would be off to some other place on the first day of autumn. More, he was fleeing from a woman of his own kind, because she had tried to persuade him to embrace mortality. Meanwhile Margaret, the other immortal visitant, having lost her mate, took shelter with a college boy who had given her a lift on the road, and let him become her lover for a few days. When...
