...palatable. But apparently no one did, and Mr. Blitzstein's creation remains a confusing hodge-podge of unsatisfying songs and dances. He seems almost wholly innocent of a sense of logical progression from scene to scene. One somehow has the feeling that in the last act, the scenery should disappear, and a narrator, or perhaps the author himself, should emerge to tell the audience exactly what the noise is all about...
...decided on the basis of preliminary evidence that Rodney and Charles were, indeed, identical twins. (He will not be positive until the grafts have been given enough time to take. Normally, because the skins of different individuals have biological differences, grafts from one person to another wither and disappear within 30 to 60 days, although they have temporary value as a protective covering.) The twins were wheeled into separate operating rooms. Surgeons took from Charles' thighs and lower legs twelve strips two in. wide, 12 to 14 in. long and thirteen-thousandths of an inch thick, grafted them...
...accident that Federal Union began to disappear just as the United Nations entered the scene. For if Streit's Union New was the Genesis of the world government movement, the United Nations and the Cold War caused the writing of a whole New Testament. Or rather, a number of diverse testaments, each of which answered differently the critical questions facing supporters of world government: Should they work through the U.N.? Skirt it? Or should they perhaps forget about blueprinting an organization which the Cold War may have made impracticable...
...about a week scar tissue starts to form in its place. This process usually causes fever and an increase in white blood cell count. But as the scar tissue-in Ike's case forming in the front wall of the heart-becomes stronger and more dead cells disappear, temperature and blood count return to normal. At the same time, the heart is developing collateral circulation. Immediately after a clot forms, the pressure drops in the area beyond it, and blood enters the area by alternate routes, such as already-existing interconnecting channels (see chart). Later, new arteries may grow...
...though most responsible military authorities abhor the Chinese atrocities, their Stoic code of conduct asks American prisoners to accept them without flinching. If the code allowed prisoners to sign all confessions demanded in violation of the Geneva Convention, on the other hand, the enemy's incentive for torture would disappear. The Communist captors would receive a plethora of confessions--the same confessions they now extract more painfully. Confessions signed so freely would convince no one who does not already believe the "confessions" Chinese Communists have obtained through unspeakable torture. Prisoners of war already carry too many burdens to be asked...
