...Streetcar Named Desire may not be Tennessee Williams' most perverse play (Garden District concentrates on such themes as sadism and homosexuality with greater relish), but I find it his most disturbing and powerful one. It doesn't rely on gimmicks, SYMBOLS like venus flytraps and half eaten baby turtles for its impact, but rather on the conflict which causes the slow psychological disintegration of its heroine, Blanche DuBois. The tension is inherent in the play's dramatic situation, in the human relationships it explores, and that tension should rise slowly from the very first scene to the play's piercing...
...nearby island of Tortuga by Clement Manigat, a Haitian working for Dr. Barker. It must have been either a ceremonial burial cave or a place for cannibal feasts, possibly both. In it Dr. Barker found human bones that had been broken so that their marrow could be eaten. Other bones were engraved with the faces of gods. There were earthen pots that had perhaps been used for religious or cannibalistic rituals. Dr. Barker is especially stumped by 64 human gall and kidney stones. What this odd hoard may signify he does not know...

A mix of skim-milk powder, soybean flour, corn oil, minerals and vitamins, Sustagen was designed for hospital patients unable to eat solid foods.

...primitive earth's surface may have been fairly hot, Dr. Fox mixed together the 18 amino acids common to the proteins of all living organisms and heated them gently. He got "proteinoids" that behave very much like proteins found in nature. They are digested by natural enzymes and eaten by bacteria. If polyphosphoric acid is added to the mix, the reaction takes place at only 160° F., well below the boiling point of water...
