While Haupt lingered through the night, pathologists and hematologists compared his blood type and cells with Blaiberg's. By a 12-to-l chance, both had type B, Rh-positive. Droplets of serum containing Haupt's white cells were pipetted onto dime-size disks in a plastic tray, each disk containing a cell-reagent preparation. The intensity of the reactions on different disks was noted, and compared with those already obtained from Blaiberg's cells. The cells, concluded Pathologist Martinus C. Botha, were a fairly good match. Not identical-that is impossible-but similar enough to suggest...
...older of Woody's two sons. And as Oklahoma-born Woody's great songs voiced the common man's despair in the dusty '30s, New York-born Arlo throbs with his own generation's hang-ups. Its length has kept Alice from wide disk-jockey exposure, but Arlo's first Reprise LP is moving steadily up on the charts...
...works at Milwaukee, created over a ten-year period, betray an artistic progression. Hunt's work has evolved from small, dark, intense, relatively small copper or steel constructions to larger, looser but still eerily vigorous ones in shiny aluminum. Hunt likes the polished effect that comes from disk-grinding the aluminum because "it changes its texture, and gives a volumetric quality...
...visitor to Venus were insulated and refrigerated against the 536° F. surface temperature, he might survive long enough to see both a sunset and a sunrise, which occur 59 earth days apart. When it was high in the sky, the sun would appear as a familiar disk-if it could be seen through the murky Venusian clouds. But as it set, according to Stanford University Engineer and Physicist Von R. Eshleman, the disk would gradually diffuse itself around the entire horizon as a glowing band for the remainder of the night; sunlight is so bent, or refracted...
Arcane Alchemy. Nothing is forced in her performance. Strain only shows offstage, when she takes long rests, sits in her dressing room in a wheelchair to ease the pain of a crushed disk in her back, and dismisses visitors with the sigh, "I must do my breathing now." Since pneumonia damaged her lungs in 1961, she has had to inflate them several times a day with a pressurized oxygen tank that accompanies her everywhere (she calls it "Charlie...
