...Helen Neushaefer's Torrid and Pink Pas sion; such creams as Max Factor's Cup of Youth and Helena Rubinstein's Tree of Life. It lends mystic significance to a word such as moisturizing and nurtures a euphemistic cant in which reducing becomes slenderizing, dye becomes hair color, and diet becomes menu plan. Its slogans have entered the language: "She's lovely, she's engaged, she uses Pond's"; "The Skin You Love to Touch"; "Which Twin Has the Toni...
...different voices. An underwater bomb exploded, sending sound waves to distant hydrophones. An antenna rose from the top of the floating balloon and transmitted radio signals that were audible 60 miles away. A stroboscopic light started flashing so brightly that it could be seen for 20 miles. A fluorescent dye spread over the water, making a patch of bright color to attract search aircraft. As a final touch, a shark-repelling chemical dissolved in the water. Sharks are fascinated by the recovery apparatus, and a nip from one of them could send the whole thing to the bottom...
...National Laboratory told the American Chemical Society how he and his colleagues had tested a chemical that flushes out strontium selectively and spares the body's calcium. Used so far only in rats (no human victims of acute radiostrontium poisoning are known), the chemical is a tasteless yellow dye, the rhodizonate salt of either sodium or potassium. Lindenbaum and his colleagues dosed their rats with the mildly radioactive strontium 85, which, for the purpose of the test, served as well as its deadlier big brother, strontium 90. Then the rats got the rhodizonate in moderate-to-huge doses every...
...dye is finally cast against him by I. G. Farben itself. At the last minute Bill tries to diversify. He fills an order for 43 plastic bathtubs made out of Volupton ("It feels like folks") for an Indian ma-harajah's palace. Poor Bill's maharajah turns out to be a telephone-booth Indian who suddenly folds his palace and silently steals away. On little elephant feet, an unfunny love interest clomps its way through the otherwise funny book. And occasionally, 37-year-old Author Grisman lets overwriting interfere with the reading. At his best, Grisman neatly catches...
...downtown squares. Armed with rifles, bayonets, pistols, machetes and tear gas, they blocked off the narrow cobblestoned streets leading to the squares to keep rioters from gathering. A shiny red truck whipped along one side of Plaza Bolivar spraying demonstrators with high-pressure streams of water colored with red dye, then circled the plaza of El Silencio, center of earlier riots. When the truck left there was silence, except for the clink of soldiers' bayonets. Then the noise of gunfire rattled across the deserted city, first from the northwest, where blocks of new middle-class apartments were going...
