Educated as an organic chemist (University of Glasgow), Sir Alexander got interested in the complex chemical compounds that abound in living cells. Biologists knew little in those days about these compounds which are so unstable that attempts to study them usually destroy them. Sir Alexander tried a new approach. Applying the subtle methods of organic chemistry, he synthesized, one by one, a wide range of delicate biochemicals, including vitamins E and B1. His research led him to the nucleus of the cell, where the all-powerful genes are stored. These mysterious chemicals, which control heredity and growth, are made...
...ROUND the world, the chances for investment abound (see Capital Opportunities). But too often there is no capital to invest. As President Marcus Wallenberg of Stockholm's Enskilda Bank pointed out to the conference delegates, the demands for investment funds have far outrun the savings from which the capital must come...

The walls abound with pictures of women treated as moon goddesses, as concrete skeletons on a beach or as interlocking arabesques with strange, brooding masks. They reveal little about the outward appearance of the numerous women who have responded to Picasso's own vitality, but they clearly record Picasso's own often savage counter-response. With children (he has four) Picasso has almost invariably used distortion sympathetically to reinforce rather than mock childhood's peculiar and perilous excitement...

Marriage clinics abound on the theory that "very few husbands and wives find their marriage sexually satisfying"; to release their "inner resentment, completely uninhibited husbands and wives gushed out the most astonishing intimacies...
Understanding. Accordingly, the recordings abound in varied repetitions and rippling cadenzas, written in by Landowska where she felt they were implied in the score. By delicate adjustments of touch, Landowska even manages to convey some of the sharp differences of tone color characteristic of the pianoforte of Mozart's day. The result is a series of performances with shimmering articulation and a profound, spacious sense of repose. Played far more slowly than the usual "virtuoso" Mozart performances, they suggest tensions in the simple melodies rarely detected since Mozart...
