Finally, while examining the yolk sacs under a microscope, he found a cluster of bacilli different from any he had seen before. When he mixed these with blood from survivors of Legionnaires' disease, he found antibodies against them in 29 out of 33 specimens, which indicated that the people had prior exposure to the bacterial strain. Tests on blood from victims of the St. Elizabeths infection-which had been carefully preserved in Atlanta in hopes of some day solving that puzzle-showed identical antibodies...
During the first year of the project, Harvard worked with Roxbury to develop "clustering," a system in which six teachers worked together as a group and taught core courses to all ninth graders. "We had something going," Nancy Banton, a math teacher said. Math teacher Chuck Williams said the cluster had close contact with Harvard and the cluster's structure facilitated field trips and utilization of resources in general. Over the summer, the city transferred 13 teachers, including two of the six cluster teachers, to other schools. This year the cluster did not start up again, and the remaining teachers...
Walkie-Talkies. For example, a six-lane highway leads from Kinshasa 30 miles east to the "presidential domain" at N'Sele. There visitors find not only a gaudy cluster of conference halls and air-conditioned bungalows but also a palace for visiting heads of state in which the baths reportedly have gold-plated fixtures. A 27-story, $50 million world trade center is rising in Kinshasa; Mobutu hopes to make the city the trading crossroads of Africa-although the telephone system is so poor that some government officials use walkie-talkies...
...finished the season in tenth place. In 1967 they put players on the field like Charlie Smith, Ruben Amaro, Steve Whitaker and Horace Clarke. Whitaker was especially pathetic because he was one in a set of the "next Mickey Mantle" series. Whitaker came up to the Yankees, hit a cluster of home runs in his first week and then began to strike out. His collapse was awful to watch. Fortunately for him, not too many people came out to the park to look. Other "next Mickey Mantle" prototypes were Roger Repo, Bill Robinson and Bobby Murcer. But Whitaker handled...
...core of the good ole boy's world is with his buddies, the comfortable, hyperhearty, all-male camaraderie, joshing and drinking and regaling one another with tales of assorted, exaggerated prowess. Women are outsiders; when social events are unavoidably mixed, the good ole boys cluster together at one end of the room, leaving wives at the other. The GOB'S magic doesn't work with women; he feels insecure, threatened by them. In fact, he doesn't really like women, except...
