...cancer) in chickens. At Harvard and then at the Rockefeller Foundation, South Africa-born Max Theiler performed the delicate and dangerous feat of getting yellow-fever virus to grow in the brains of mice. With infinite patience, Theiler in 1936 grew 176 generations of virus in tissue cultures of chick embryo cells,* weakening the virus with each "pass" and seeking a generation that would be too feeble to induce the disease, yet strong enough in a vaccine to spur the system to create antibodies. The vaccine that he achieved won Max Theiler a Nobel Prize...
...Enders pondered while he puttered with cowpox virus in tissue cultures of chick embryo cells. Through an ordinary binocular microscope, he could see that the cells were damaged and began to fall apart as the virus multiplied. Others had seen this phenomenon; to the thoughtful Dr. Enders its significance eventually became clear and astonishingly simple: the nature and amount of cell damage were indexes to the nature and amount of viral activity. "It seems incredibly obvious now," he says...
...agent that caused PAP. So far, researchers have not been able to prove for sure that "Eaton Agent" is a virus. It goes through fine filters and thus seems to fall in the sub-bacterial size-range of the viruses. Like some other viruses, it can be grown in chick embryos and hamsters. Using new fluorescent techniques, researchers have traced the antibodies that are formed to fight the Eaton Agent. But they have never been able positively to single out the presumed virus and photograph it with an electron microscope...
...Antioni's contempt; Anna disappears; Antioni never gives much attention to either the featherbrained Julia or the calm Patrizia. Only claudia is left. And because she alone remains at the end of the film, the audience must wonder if the story is only that the slob has caught another chick. In the despairing Lo Dolce Vita, this would be the message. But the essential distinction is that things are not the same at the end as they were in the beginning. Claudia has changed, as has Anna if she lives, as has Julia. L'Avventura is a study of Claudia...
...million last year. To maintain its preeminence, Gillette aims much of its annual $35-$40 million advertising budget to wooing new shavers. Sunday comic sections are saturated with ads, and jive-talking disk jockeys ad-lib the merits of a "smooth kisser for the cool chick, young buddy." For as Carl Gilbert well knows, today's peach fuzz is tomorrow's 5 o'clock shadow...
