...congressmen and leading newspapers about his findings in Nicaragua--over and above the group's letter--and criticized current U.S. policy. Along with the letter he sent a manual that he obtained in Nicaragua. The book let presented in cartoon form instructions on how to destroy farms and burn books, among other acts of sabotage. According to Steiner, sources in Nicaragua said the manual could be traced...
...Peace, which was to the women a pleasing thing." Off and on throughout the century, dairymaids would form an "Amazonian" mob to protest against enclosure of the land where their cattle grazed. The militants armed themselves with scythes and pitchforks, and on one occasion threatened to burn the houses, drown the servants and cut off the head of one of their oppressors, a certain Captain Thomas Lovell.

...found flourishing colonies of cells resembling those of the upper layer of living skin. Investigation showed that these epithelial cells grew because of the presence of fibroblasts, a type of cell common to the connective tissue that makes up the dermis.

Another major advance came when Green discovered that a certain bacterial enzyme could remove skin cultures from a flask in entire sheets by loosening the bond between the cells and the plastic...
...brothers' injuries and sewed in place. Over a period of four to five months, each boy received half a square yard of cultured skin. About 60% to 80% of the grafts took hold, and now cover more than 50% of the brothers' bodies. The remainder of the burn wounds healed naturally or were covered by grafts of skin taken from healed sites. Doctors believe that the new technique could help about 10% to 15% of the 100,000 people hospitalized for burns in the U.S. every year. Other potential beneficiaries: those with congenital skin damage, ulcers or wounds...
