...rare and radical surgery that has wrought such changes, Dr. Hendrick cuts a trap door in the skull, removes the entire neocortex (new brain) and hippocampal area on one side (see diagram), stopping at the midbrain just above the hypothalamus. He puts nothing into the huge cavity that results, because it soon fills up with cerebrospinal fluid. The operation, he says, "is not exciting-it's terrifying, especially, on young babies. They don't have much blood anyway, and we have to get into an area that's all blood vessels. And you have...
...levels in many rock-'n'-roll night clubs soar to 125 db. Dr. Charles P. Lebo of the University of California took measuring instruments into two San Francisco rock-'n'-roll joints, where the cacophony was produced mainly by amplified guitars and percussion instruments (see diagram). Throughout the audible-speech range, Lebo found that the sound intensity averaged over 100 db at virtually all frequencies. It rose to 119 db at peaks in the center of the hall...

...pass through the transparent walls of the ruby rod and are lost. But many hit the mirrors at either end of the rod and are reflected back to the opposite mirror. As they bounce back and forth along the rod, they stimulate other chromium atoms into emitting photons (see diagram, p. 49). When the chromium atoms that are in an excited state become more plentiful than those that are not, a torrent of photons bursts through the partially transparent mirror at one end of the rod in a brief but intense pulse of red light, vastly more powerful than...

So they went directly behind the speaker's platform through a gold curtain toward a serving kitchen (see diagram) that led to the press room. The Senator walked amid a clutch of aides, hotel employees and newsmen, with Ethel a few yards behind. This route took him through a swinging door and into the hot, malodorous, corridorlike chamber that was to be his place of execution...
