...Graduate Student Douglas Ehresmann decided to find out if the extracts might also be effective against viruses. Since 1974 they have examined for antiviral properties 29 varieties of red algae common to northern California waters. Each variety was washed in distilled water, dried, boiled and homogenized in a blender. A 1 % solution of the resulting liquid extract was applied to human cells that were then inoculated with type I or type II herpes. The solution proved 99% effective in stopping viral multiplication. When the solution was applied to cells already infected with herpes, the spread of the virus was reduced...
...coolly realizes that the closest they can come to understanding one another is argument; his son in California clutches him as his false glamor dissolves beneath him. Harry moves on, encountering young runaway girls, health food swindlers, and an Indian who cures his arthritis in return for an electric blender. He buys Tonto a Scotch in a Las Vegas casino and spends the night in jail for pissing into a potted fern in the lobby. In the end, Tonto dies and Harry is offered a chance to move in with a well-preserved widow in Miami. Life goes on; Harry...

...yellow-and-orange tent was set up on the White House lawn to accommodate more than 1,280 guests at 128 tables. White House aides found two aluminum canoes and filled them with crushed ice to serve as brobdingnagian coolers for the champagne. Chef Henry Haller borrowed a huge blender from the Pentagon to purée 90 quarts of strawberries for the dessert. Two hundred extra butlers were recruited to help serve a feast that began with suprême of seafood Neptune (crabmeat, tiny shrimps and scallops in sauce) served with hearts of palm and proceeded, with grateful...
Paul Butterfield's Better Days. I've got Butter at the top of this bill only out of loyalty. If you're going, go to see Bonnie Raitt, a woman who plays the blues very well, and hope she plays "waring Blender Blues," and see Little Feat, talented, but less than heralded. As for Butter, hope Better Days has improved over their appearance of last summer, when Amos Garret couldn't play a simple blues phrase on guitar, and old folkie Geoff Muldaur proved he could no more sing the blues than Diana Ross can sing Billie Holiday...
