Arthritis Drug Could Improve Treatment of Dysentery
Preliminary tests on animals have shown that a drug used since 1985 to treat arthritis is 10 times more effective at treating amebic dysentery than the best drug currently in use. Not only was auranofin more effective than metronidazole at killing Entamoeba histolytica, a parasite that causes dysentery, it is also relatively inexpensive, an important factor given that most of the 70,000 people killed by the disease each year live in developing countries. While further studies are needed to

Virus Power
Scientists have developed an electric generator that uses viruses to convert mechanical energy into electricity. To achieve this, they first had to boost the voltage that the M13 bacteriophage virus, which they already knew had some piezoelectric potential, could generate. Once they had done this, they attached a multilayered film of the virus to an electrode and found that tapping the electrode generated enough electricity to power a small LCD screen. Someday, similar devices could be used to

Eugène François Vidocq
Vidocq was a career criminal who became a spy for the Paris police while in prison in 1809. After 21 months of spying, he was released and organized a plainclothes unit. In 1817 alone, he played a role in 811 arrests. In 1832, accusations that he was instigating crimes for the purpose of uncovering them forced his resignation.

Millions Participate in Hands Across America (1986)
Hands Across America was a massive, heavily publicized fundraiser during which millions of people, including scores of celebrities and politicians, lined up in the hopes of forming a human chain stretching from New York to California. Though they did not succeed in this regard—there were many gaps along the way—the event raised $20 million. Had all of the participants actually given the $10 required donation, it would have reached its $50-million goal. For what cause was the money raised?
Barbara McClintock
McClintock was an American geneticist. In the 1940s and 50s, her experiments with variations in the coloration of kernels of maize revealed that genes are not stationary, but can “jump” on the chromosome. She isolated two control elements in genetic material and found not only that they moved, but also that their transposition affected the behavior of neighboring genes. In 1983, she was belatedly awarded a Nobel Prize in Physiology. Why did she stop publishing her findings in the

Rosemary Clooney (1928)
Clooney was an American singer popular in the 1950s with hits such as “Come On-a My House.” She also appeared in several movies, including White Christmas (1954), which co-starred Bing Crosby. In the 1960s, mental illness and drug addiction took a toll on her career, but she made a comeback in the mid-1970s and performed until her death in 2002. Her 1968 mental breakdown was precipitated by the assassination—as she stood nearby—of what personal friend?
New York Public Library Dedicated (1911)
When former New York governor Samuel J. Tilden died in 1886, he left $2.4 million in his will for the creation of a grand public library. At that time, there were two other important libraries in New York City—the Astor and the Lenox—but they were struggling. With Tilden’s gift, they were merged in 1895. The new library’s cornerstone was laid in 1902 at the old Croton Reservoir on Fifth Avenue, and it finally opened to the public in 1911. By 1910, how many miles of shelves had

First Female Cadet Graduates from The Citadel (1999)
For more than 150 years, only male cadets were allowed to attend the Citadel, an elite military college in South Carolina. The first female cadet gained the right to enroll after a legal battle in 1995, but she left after less than a week. The following year, Nancy Mace, the daughter of US Army Brigadier General Emory Mace, enrolled. She went on to become the first female graduate of the Citadel in 1999. How did early female cadets’ barrack doors differ from those of male cadets?
