...Martin's parents thanked the Dean and took Martin across the street. There he was examined by a sweet old lady who was not a full psychiatrist but a psychiatric social worker or, as Martin put it, a shrink-trainee (which sounded to him like some kind of seafood dish, but he didn't pursue the comparison any further.) Anyway, she told Martin's parents and Martin that he wasn't really in bad shape (mind you, she was only a trainee) and that all he needed was to take a more positive approach to things, and that everything would...
...only cleansing creams (which do not remove facial oils) are natural targets for the tiny parasite. Regular washing reduces the Demodex population, but no way has been found to drive away all the mites. Until such a remedy is found, Ophthalmologist Coston says, "man must remain the dish of his uninvited guest...
...past--when Arnold Rothstein won $850,000 on Sidereal, when Pittsburg Phil was in his heyday, when Diamond Jim Brady and Subway Sam Rosoff ate much and bet more, when a "handy guy like Sande was bootin' them babies in," and when the Grand Union Hotel would serve any dish if there was twenty-four hour notice.

Traveling at the speed of light, the signal was picked up 1.3 sec later by the huge radio telescope at Goldstone, Calif., which has a dish-shaped antenna 210 ft. in diameter. Next, the signal was relayed to Goddard Space Flight Center near Washington, D.C., where the message was broken down into its individual parts and routed to Mission Control in Houston. The astronauts' voices then traveled via ordinary telephone lines to radio and TV stations in New York for rebroadcast throughout the U.S. and the world. In one of the longest roundabout routes in the history of radio...
...electronic wizardry was all the more impressive because the same carrier that transmitted voice signals to earth was made to handle TV as well. Although voices went to Goldstone, NASA technicians found that another 210-ft. dish antenna in Parkes, Australia, provided the best reception for the TV signal. From Parkes the signal was relayed overland to Sydney, flashed to the Moree Earth Station 200 miles to the north, beamed up to the Intelsat communications satellite 22,300 miles above the Pacific Ocean, relayed to Jamesburg, Calif., passed by microwave ground signal and coaxial cable to Houston and finally transmitted...
