✦ Synopsis

Soon, Tom thought as he hurried to the hospital, I'll know if there is a God. And if He cares.

When they graduated in 1952, Thomas Kirkman and his high school classmates made daring
predictions about their future, including a trip to the moon. Though Tom never made it to the
moon, his journey through life took him to places just as unique.

But not even the prestige of working in the White House and the CIA could take away Tom's
disillusionment and despair when he loses the most important person in his life. Convinced that
God did not care, Tom buried himself in his work and turned his back on God. Did He even
exist?

Then, through an unexpected voice and an unpretentious Amish man, Tom Kirkman's life was
forever changed.

This work of biographical fiction echoes the true story of Thomas E. Kirkman—White House
artist, CIA spy, inventor, and Amish man (1934-2018).

Acute and Chronic Toxicity of Veratrum V
Acute and Chronic Toxicity of Veratrum Viride††The Veratrum viride studied was the whole-powdered drug marketed by Irwin, Neisler & Co. under the name, Vertavis. The work reported herein was supported by a grant from this firm. The batch of powder used in these experiments was stated by the manufacturer to have been assayed biologically by the Craw method on Daphnia magna. One Craw unit of the material studied was stated to be 15.6mg. With regard to this assay, Mr. R. O. Craw has been so kind as to allow us to publish a brief explanation: A reference lot of Yerolrum oirid; powder was set-aside as a standard and a 10% w/v aqueous extract was made of this powder. The average median length of life in 50 assays of 1000 daphnia on immersion in the solution was determined to be 2.22 hours. The daphnia were considered dead when the heart was found to be in systolic standstill on microscopic examination. Succeeding lots of powder were assayed and their potency determined by relating the median length of life of daphnia to 2.22 hours, which is one unit. Twenty assays of 10 animals each were used on each lot of powder.‡‡The authors wish to thank Dr. J. F. A.,McManus of the Department of Pathology for a pathologic report on the tissues, and Mr. James Thomas and Mrs. Bobby E. Teague for technical assistance.
