...diagram), said Fournier, entered the top of Williams' skull, bounced off a bone near the pituitary gland and stopped in the temporal lobe of the brain. Another (No. 2) entered below the left eye and came to rest between the carotid artery and the jugular vein. One centimeter's deviation in almost any direction and this bullet could have caused fatal hemorrhaging. A third slug burrowed from the corner of the right eye into the jawbone. The fourth traveled from a point under the right nostril into the hard palate. The fifth bullet went through the roof...
Supermale? Nature intended every man and woman to have 46 chromo somes per cell: 22 pairs of autosomes, which determine countless characteristics other than sex, and two gonosomes or sex chromosomes. In the female, these are a pair of Xs; in the male, an X and a Y (see diagram). When a sperm fertilizes an ovum, each supplies half the 46 chromosomes for the combination of cells that will grow into a baby. If the sperm contains an X chromosome, the baby gets that X plus one from the mother, and will be an XX girl. If the sperm contains...
...hotel on the beach. And he uses the camera to stop simple, clearly defined portraits so we can study them--a tree in a field, a man reading the paper on his bed. Some of his work is so abstract, however, that he has to draw a diagram to explain the lines of direction. But the purpose of a photograph ought to be clear. To be ambiguous, to suggest several ideas is fine; but a photo shouldn't be intentionally difficult...
Near the arch of the aorta (see diagram) he inserted a plastic catheter tube, which was connected to a heart-lung machine. Another catheter, similarly connected, went into the right auricle. At this point, the whole body was perfused with oxygenated blood. The surgeons then clamped the aorta beyond the catheter and clamped the pulmonary artery and venae cavae, thus isolating the heart from the rest of the body, which thereafter received no circulation...
...Plausible. A closer look reveals the harsh realities. For all its outward appearance, East German Boss Walter Ulbricht's New Wall is even less passable-even, in fact, less plausible-than the crude barrier that first shocked the world six years ago. Ulbricht's new design (see diagram) has been conceived with chilling efficiency; to test it, the East Germans erected a prototype at an army camp, rounded up some of the country's best athletes and let them try to cross the barriers without interference. None could makeit. Ulbricht has already completed nearly a third...
