Hellman says that the concern of basic scientists with the disease will persist because of the distinct nature of the cancer cell. Efforts to distinguish the malignant cell by what was presumed would be its faster rate of replication or by identification of foreign proteins on the cell have proved difficult, he says. Such studies involve virologists (studying viruses), pathologists, and molecular biologists. Other research in the last ten years has suggested that a cancer could be linked to a failure of the body's immune system; when asked about vogues in research, Hellman says, "My prejudice...
There is evidence that Fromme was doing her best to shoot the weapon that, at such close range, would almost certainly have killed the President. Some witnesses reported hearing a distinct clicking sound, which could have been made by the hammer snapping forward as she futilely pulled the trigger. In addition, there is the record of what happened to Agent Buendorf when he leaped into action. Instinctively, as he had been trained, Buendorf grabbed for the hammer of the gun, trying to interpose the web of skin between his right thumb and his right forefinger between the hammer...
...Jadot prepares his own assessments of the men, then sends the list to the Sacred Congregation for Bishops. Pope Paul makes the final decision. So far, the 35 bishops who have been appointed to U.S. dioceses since Jadot's arrival in the U.S. show a distinct trend that the Vatican favors. They tend to be pastoral leaders, "holy men with intelligence," as one bishop puts it, who get out among the people−such men as Santa Fe's Robert Sanchez, 41, the first Mexican-American archbishop in the U.S.. The more remote and authoritarian administrators...
...time required to do these, the elimination of waste motions and the recombination of these times and motions into a mathematical formula for the "one best way" to do a job. Out of Taylor's innovations came the incentive and bonus system, differential rates of pay based on distinct skill classifications, the standardization of tools and equipment and, most important, the shift of all planning and scheduling from the work floor to a department new in the history of work-that of the industrial engineer...
Soon California Institute of Technology's James Whitcomb, Jan Garmany and Don Anderson weighed in with more evidence. In a search of past records, they found a distinct drop in the speed of P waves 3½ years before the 1971 San Fernando quake (58 deaths), the largest in California in recent years. The P waves had returned to their normal velocity a few months before the tremor. Besides providing what amounted to a retroactive prediction of that powerful quake, the Caltech researchers demonstrated that it was primarily the velocity of the P waves, not the S waves, that...
