...truth seemed to be that the Socialists themselves did not quite know. Erich Ollenhauer was flying about Germany in a rented, five-seater yellow Cessna, accompanied by his plump wife Martha and a pressagent.

In combining any two insects, e.g., wasp and yellow jacket, two of the proteins are likely to be identical, while each insect will also have two or three different ones. Thus the polyvalent extract from four species probably contains a dozen proteins, should help a sensitized victim to build up immunity against...

Midwestern farmers sweated in fields of hay and ripe, yellow oats. Across the nation, the yearly harvest was under way, and despite drought in the Northeast, the worst in 35 years or more, many a U.S. farmer could agree with Fred Hill of Umatilla County, Ore. Pushing back his Stetson, lanky Farmer Hill, 44, cast an admiring eye over a field of ripened wheat and said with a grin: "The Lord's been good...
