Rockets to Godfrey. The sort of things that happen range from Physicist James Van Allen's experiments with high-altitude research rockets to Psychologist Wendell Johnson's pioneering work with stutterers, from Zoologist Harold Beam's studies on the organization of cells to the Institute of Gerontology's "clearing house" on the problems of old age. The medical school, with its three affiliated hospitals, is a major center for the treatment of handicapped children, rightfully boasts such names as Surgeon Arthur Steindler, Ophthalmologist Alson Braley, Heart Specialist William Bean, and Carroll Larson, authority on arthroplasty...
...down to Little Rock, Ark. last week to discuss his specialty at the sixth annual conference of neuropsychiatrists. Lecturing on sexual abnormality, he told his psychiatrist audience deviations such as homosexuality are hardly surprising among humans. The reason: they are relatively common among animals. Some of his critics, said Zoologist Kinsey, want to have three "kingdoms"−plant, animal and man, ignoring the biological fact that man is an animal...
...startling statistic compiled by Zoologist Alfred C. Kinsey (TIME, Aug. 24) that 50% of U.S. males have some homosexual contact in their lives does not prove them sexually abnormal.

Christine Jorgensen arrived in Chicago from Bloomington, Ind. and announced: "I gave Dr. Kinsey a full report-the same as millions of other women have done." Zoologist Alfred C. Kinsey, whose Institute for Sex Research has taken 7,800 case histories of women, did not say whether he had put Transvestite Jorgensen's data in his male or female file. Instead, exhausted from laboring on his forthcoming book, Dr. Kinsey went into a hospital for a short rest and checkup...
Manx breeding is no simple matter. Ordinary cats become plentiful whenever nature is permitted to take its course, but Manx cats are not ordinary cats. They are not even hybrids between cats and rabbits, as some Manxmen believe. According to Zoologist Frederick Zeuner of London, they are genetic freaks: "mutations with a tailless characteristic apparently linked with high-leggedness." The type probably originated when one tailless, mutant tomcat managed to impress his character on a large number of descendants. The name of this Adam torn is not known, or even whether he operated in the Isle of Man, but ever...
