...doctors could not see and had no way of detecting for certain in a living patient: the development of a mysterious membrane around the inside walls of the lungs, which makes it impossible for the lung cells to take in enough oxygen from inhaled air and remove the carbon dioxide coming from the blood...
...water during part of the year, for it supported the Chilcas in some style. They lived in conical houses a dozen feet in diameter, made of reeds, straw and willow branches. Many of these houses still exist, covered with sand and preserved by the bone-dry climate. The carbon 14 test proves that at least 50 of them date from 3750 B.C., when the people of Egypt were not much above the same cultural level...
...months, I entered Widener, only to find that what some people jocosely term "progress" had swept over this bastion of learning. Gone were the little blue cards I had known and loved! In their place were IBM cards with the pompous instructions, PLEASE WRITE FIRMLY TO MAKE CARBON DO NOT BEND CARD...
...research project will investigate the phenomenon by which the infant makes energy by metabolizing only sugars in the first 36 hours of life, then apparently switches over to fats and proteins. At the same time, instead of exhaling only as much carbon dioxide as the oxygen it inhales, the newborn child begins to change the ratio and soon puts out ten volumes of CO² for seven volumes of inhaled oxygen. Nobody understands just why, but with uncannily delicate instruments, which will measure gas ratios to an accuracy of one part in a million, the Stanford researchers hope to learn...
...remaining disquaires are generally less inspired than Warfield, but their ranks are deep and growing. France has at least 200 discothèques, and the Jet Set has spawned carbon copies in Manhattan, providing ample opportunity for great phonograph players to practice their subtle art. In control rooms off the dance floor, they preside over the music, nimbly switching from turntable to turntable to spin new records. Some discothèques allow their patrons to suggest tunes to the disquaire, but at many such an impertinence would be unthinkable-like asking Pablo Casals to play Melancholy Baby...
