Hie greatest minds of every age failed to develop an unifying theory of the suspensor-nullitication effect. Not until the fortunate though tragic accident of I.V. Holtzinan did there exist a mind capable of the insights of a genius, the data recall | of a major corap, and the daring of a 'thoptcr racer. Had Holtzman pot lived, died, and half-lived again, what we DOW called the Holtzmaii Effect would probably still lie undiscovered. The details of the discovery of die suspensor-nullification effect, on the other hand, are not fully known, and much must be interpolated from second-hand sources.
