...tannin content, which will help the red wines mellow with age and give them a pure, deep, brilliant hue. They are rich in sugar, assuring a high degree of natural alcohol (13% to 14% this year, v. 10% to 11% in normal seasons). The grapes also have a low acid content, promising full, soft wines for early consumption...
BURGUNDY. The great red wines of Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune are full-bodied and richly colored, and will, as they say, "upholster the palate." They will be even better than 1969. The whites are fruity, low in acid, round and full of character, comparable to 1962.

The Burgundies should be mature enough to drink in three or four years...

What we're being faced with now is the possibility not only of changing one amino acid in a protein, but of producing whole new proteins overnight across very distant boundaries...
...interview earlier this week, Martinez Soler said the terrorists, whom he characterized as Francoist right-wing extremists, beat him, sprayed acid in his face, demanded unsuccessfully that he reveal the sources of a controversial article published in a magazine he edits and threatened to kill his wife if the two failed to emigrate immediately...
