...conditions, but for a really fancy job a TV camera is the thing. Though it takes hard-to-hide coaxial cable, the TV set need be only eight inches long and an inch or so in diameter; its lens can peer through an inconspicuous opening such as a heating duct or recessed light fixture...
...sleuth cannot get into the target room, he will usually work from an adjacent room or corridor, where he may be able to slip a bug into an electrical outlet or heating duct, which are often back-to-back. Otherwise, he may drill a small hole through the wall and poke a thin plastic tube into it, just short of the far surface, so as to siphon sound waves into a microphone next door...
...comes out of prison and plunges right into a plot to lift 1,000,000,000 francs from the Palm Beach Casino in Cannes.

Biggest of these, in the abdomen, is the cisterna chyli. Others are in the chest. Through large lymph channels-notably the thoracic duct-the protein returns to the blood stream. Most surprising, Dr. Mayerson and fellow researchers found, is the sheer volume that the lymphatics handle. In the dog, and probably in man, the kidneys' lymphatics process a volume of fluid almost equal to the kidneys' output of urine...
