...trying to help. All three become ruinously involved with a right-wing tycoon who controls several top city officials and now wants to lead a cryptofascist "moral" crusade. Stone's theme is the inextricable grip of the underworld on its inhabitants; he draws a sure-handed diagram of brutal power and its victims...
Pumping on Signal. Surgeons injected a local anesthetic into the patient's thigh and cut into the femoral artery. They then threaded a flexible plastic tube up the artery and the aorta until a deflated balloon at its end was about level with the heart (see diagram). The outside end of the tube led to an electrically operated pump filled with nonflammable, nonexplosive helium. The patient was connected to an electrocardiograph, whose signals could control the pump...

...layers of the skin involved in the sun-screening process are visible under a microscope. Below the skin's outermost horny layer, or stratum corneum (see diagram), lies a germinative layer where, on exposure to sunlight, the pigment-producing cells are stimulated to produce more melanin-and a suntan. The black races (Negro, Bushman-Hottentot and Australoid), with a more abundant supply of melanin, are in effect, perpetually tanned. Members of the white race are transparent-skinned in winter, when they must make the most of the limited ultraviolet avail able to synthesize vitamin D, but they take...

Last week, to the wondering eyes of its white, middle-class readers, Review devoted the lower third of a cover dealing with books on Negro rebellion to a detailed, do-it-yourself diagram of a Molotov cocktail. Some were amused, some were startled, none were likely to make much use of the blueprint. What was meant to give everybody a bang turned out to be just a little...
