A single deep crease, instead of two separated lines, from the base of the index finger to the base of the pinkie is known as a "simian line" (see diagram). It occurs with many disorders including mongolism and some rubella (German measles) defects. Also unusual is a radial loop pattern pointing toward the thumb in the ridges of any finger other than the index...
...process begins, they report, with the laying down of the familiar chalky and fatty material, largely cholesterol, inside the artery (see diagram).

But this is no ordinary abscess, filled with pus. It is a special, possibly unique type, containing the debris of broken-down cells from the blood and the artery walls, a fatty paste, crystals of cholesterol, and calcium...
...hour by an auxiliary turbojet or rocket engine, or get a lift from a conventional plane. After that, enough air is rammed into the engine's front inlet to set up a pressure barrier that forces the burning gases to escape at the rear, thus providing thrust (see diagram...

But McLeod's other piece, a discussion of the set for The Tempest, is rendered incomprehensible by the lack of a diagram, and the reviews are undistinguished...
