Excerpt: I am forced to admit that even though I had traveled a long distance to place Bowen Tyler's manuscript in the hands of his father, I was still a trifle skeptical as to its sincerity, since I could not but recall that it had not been many years since Bowen had been one of the most notorious practical jokers of his alma mater.

Abstract: It is shown that both the Newtonian and General Relativity theories for gravity may be re-formulated as in-flow dynamics in which a substratum is effectively absorbed by matter, with the gravitational force determined by inhomogeneities of that flow. Analysis herein of the 1925-26 Dayton Miller interferometer data reveals such a gravitational in-flow of space past the Earth into the Sun. This data and that from the 1991 Roland DeWitte coaxial cable experiment a...

Excerpt: Cancer of the central nervous system is of interest to toxicologists because of its reported association with various occupations in man. Rodents are often used as models for detecting possible environmental carcinogens, yet systematic consideration of brain pathology in long-term rodent carcinogenicity did not receive the attention it deserved. It was this aspect that prompted the National Toxicology Program to convene a conference on brain tumors on September ...
