...mathematical argument. Dr. Kellogg accused Dr. Rhine of underestimating the chance probability of high scores. He declares that the normal probability curve, used by Dr. Rhine, requires for proper operation chance scores as far below the average as good scores go above it. That would require some scores below zero-an absurdity. He also charges that Dr. Rhine evaluates only favorable scores, ignoring others; that he pays no attention to the internal inconsistency of his results; that the presence of sensory cues or some other extraneous factor is indicated by higher scores when conditions are such that the chance...

...furs and mail. Having greater speed but less range than the single-motored pioneers of the route, this red and blue giant was scheduled to stop for fuel at Fairbanks, Alaska. By week's end it had not reached this far-northern outpost. Approaching the Pole in sub-zero temperature, it had battled tremendous winds and ice. One motor had failed. Then the radio went silent and it eventually became apparent that the ship was down somewhere between the Pole and Alaska. Since six weeks' rations were aboard and there is plenty of room to land...
