...brain, explained Professor Hyden, contains two main types of cells: neurons and glial cells. The neurons are giant, as cells go, with elaborate systems of filaments connecting them to other neurons. The smaller glial (meaning gluey) cells stick to the neurons like caviar on a canape. Hyden and his colleagues at Goteborg, by exquisitely delicate techniques, have separated neurons from their adherent glial cells and have weighed them in units as small as millionths of a millionth of a gram. By taking fresh, still-living cells from a rabbit's brain, the Hyden team has been able to find...

An exhausted Jackie Kennedy went home, but all the rest of the clan, surrounded by the Hollywood troupe and scores of Kennedy friends, crowded in for a sedate but delightful few hours of champagne, caviar, hors d'oeuvres and supper.

For favors rendered, Menderes presented Ayhan with a black-lacquered American-style bar, a Buick of her own, and the use of a government limousine and chauffeur. By 1955 Menderes was spending more and more time with a new mistress, and Ayhan evidently decided that the way to hold...
...world could scarcely have been more startled if Moscow had proclaimed that caviar would henceforth be green. Three years after his exile to the Soviet embassy in Outer Mongolia, the Kremlin last week announced that former Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav M. ("The Hammer") Molotov was being brought back to represent Russia on the International Atomic Energy Agency in gay Vienna. With characteristic tact, the Russians chose to break the news on the 21st anniversary of the day Molotov signed the 1939 non-aggression treaty between Russia and Nazi Germany...
