offered bim in Paris, Lindbergh is really happy only
when be is in Brittany with Dr. Carrel. The famous
scienost is his bese friend. Dr. Alexis Carrel, Nobel
Prize winner and one of the Rockefeller Instivare’s
most brilliant stars, is very differcat from the average
tesearch worker. His interests are many, his know)-
edge of che world immense. Wich his keen analytical
abibty in things scientific, he combines a deep intui-
tive underscanding of human character and che ways
of men, He is no dry scientist, his vision conscricted
by his particular branch of work, but a man of
charm, wit and sympathy for che emotion of ochers

to its goal in the shortest and simplest possible way.
