...then we were the beats, and then the Love Generation, an then the Flower Power People. The hippy, mini, teenie-boppers who wouldn't cut their hair or take a bath. We were many things to many people. Black Power advocates, peace marchers, community organizers, desperate student power desperados, and members of many movements. We signed petitions to eradicate the II-S deferment an then petitions to reinstate it. We circulated "We Won't Go" statements and "We Might Not Go" advertisements, and "We'd Rather Not Go" petitions...

Study in man is vastly complicated by the fact that the human brain contains an estimated 10 billion nerve cells called neurons, and another 100 billion of a second type called glial cells. The fluid bath in which they are suspended is an important element in their electrochemical interactions. Moreover, said Sweden's Dr. Holger Hydén, one big neuron may have on its surface as many as 10,000 points of contact (synaptic knobs) with other neurons (see chart). But by means of exquisitely delicate instrumentation and an electron microscope, Dr. Hydén has discovered that...
...film changes bosses in mid-screen and Will Penny turns standard after all: Civilized Woman Tames Frontier Man. The formula female (prettily played by Joan Hackett) has a formula little boy, and the threesome winsomely provide the formula scenes-the nursing-his-wounds idyl, the making-him-take-a-bath episode, the surrogate father bit. It is an immense relief when Donald Pleasence turns up as the maniac bad guy with an interest in rape and torture...
