...With eggs cut out of his diet, the boy "became very clear mentally, rose to the head of his class and became captain of the football team." His disbelieving mother tested him with a veal cutlet, breaded in an egg mixture. After dinner, the boy said: "If I didn't know that I never eat eggs any more, I'd say that I felt just the way I used to when I was eating eggs...
...should achieve full benefit from the sauce of Chinese dishes, since that is the essence of their charm. Observe, for instance, the mainstay of any Chinese meal, shrimp with lobster sauce. On a base of shrimp, the dish features lobster sauce, made of pork, egg, cornstarch--for body--and a gentle hint of garlic. Naturally, this recipe varies with each restaurant, the only constant factor being the absence of lobster as an ingredient. The flavor is delicate, mingling the bite of garlic with the pork's meaty savor. Excellent with rice, the sauce can readily serve as an order...
...firm conviction that many Americans, like myself, look upon the sedate mansion at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., Washington, D.C. with a kind of reverence, mingled with awe and deep respect.

They found B-6 in such various substances as rice bran, liver, yeast, egg yolks and cereals. They even learned how to manufacture it themselves. Working with lab animals, they came to suspect that it might be a control factor in such diseases as hardening of the arteries and even cancer. But nobody found much use for it except as an antidote for radiation sickness...
Before Antonello, the great Italian painters had worked with tempera, i.e., opaque water color. Mixed with egg white and applied to mirror-smooth panels with the points of tiny brushes, tempera has a brilliance and precision that oils can never match. But oils are far more fluent. They can be laid atop one another in transparent glazes to produce a glowing vibrancy akin to that of colors in nature. They can be blurred into shadow, and they can be broadly, loosely, quickly or gently brushed, in imitation of the flooding sparkle of light itself. Antonello preached this technique by example...
