...things did not work this way in practice. Dr. Salk argued, it must be because of ''fractional inactivation." This might result from the clumping of virus particles (leaving a broth that was not homogenized). In this way, virus particles could survive the formaldehyde bath if they were in the middle of a clump and protected by dead brethren...
...Baby & the Bath. "Had Flesch written his book 30 years ago, he would have been on sounder ground. He might even have saved American schools from a bad blunder. Phonics, the prevailing system of the past, was kicked out the door of the little red schoolhouse in the mid '20s. New research-especially on eye movements and on the psychology of learning-convinced educators that there was a better way of teaching reading. It was learned that the mature reader does not spell his way through words, letter by letter, but reads by phrases. Besides, educators found that...
...been further argued that McCarthy's intentions were not directed toward gathering information, with an eye to possible legislation, presumably the proper function of a legislative investigative committee. In his discussion of Congressional investigations, Bath has commented, "the purpose of an inquiry seems the significant key to its validity.

Everything is done with great bravura style, from Orson's putting out a candle with the flat of his hand to a murderous shambles in a Turkish bath where Roderigo (Robert Coote) is trapped and killed, screaming beneath a slatted runway. When Welles strangles Desdemona, it is the most artistic strangling ever: he presses a silken scarf over her face, outlining every agonized feature just as if a nylon stocking had been pulled over her head. When Welles stabs...
...TWELVE PICTURES, by Edith Simon (367 pp.; Putnam; $3.95), is bathed in eerie, sth century Teutonic mists as British Novelist Simon (The Golden Hand) retells the dark, doom-laden Nibelungenlied. The events in it are drawn from somewhat different sources from the ones Wagner used in his familiar brooding operas. Siegfried, hero of the Rhine, jilts Brunhilde and marries a princess of Burgundy named Kriemhild. Brunhilde, a kind of earth-mother goddess, carries a torch for her lost love, but Hagen, the One-eyed, who believes the pagan gods have been flouted by this turn of affairs, pries from Kriemhild...
