...human beings many body functions are accompanied by electrical activity -nerve impulses, heartbeats, menstruation in women, healing of wounds, even the blinking of eyelids. Dr. Burr added up the evidence, concluded that every living organism is surrounded by an electrodynamic field. Its electrical pattern develops along with its physiological structure. Dr. Burr further reported that the electrodynamic field of mice is altered by incipient breast cancer - an important addition to the hope chest of early cancer diagnosis in human beings...
...Smithsonian Institution has found a number of cyclic variations in the amount of sunshine bathing the earth which affect its weather. Last week he announced finding a new short cycle of 16 days. This is closely correlated with wide temperature swings on earth - swings of 15 and even 25°. The pattern of temperature change following the 16-day cycle varies from place to place and from month to month, but Dr. Abbot believes that the value of 16-day temperature prediction to industry and agriculture would be well worth the trouble and expense of making month-by-month prediction...
...lies under 7,500 ft. of Atlantic Ocean. One theory has it that submarine canyons were cut during the Glacial Age by surface rivers. This could have occurred only if the sea level was then nearly two miles lower than it is now - a presumption difficult to account for, even allowing for water drawn into the great Glacial Age ice sheets. Geologist Douglas Johnson of Columbia University last week announced an easier explanation: "sapping" by submerged springs. The Glacial Age rivers deposited great masses of sediment on the sea floor; water was forced through the sediment by hardening...

Earwicker's dreams, like most people's, are troubled by hints of depravity, but they remain hints. Even suggestive words are disguised. Is the book dirty? Censors will probably never be able to tell. Melting and merging in Earwicker's dream-state, like smoke in a fog, readers sense Anna, the girl with whom he is in love: Anna on the riverbank, Anna Livia, Anna Livia Plurabelle. Through the menacing or ridiculous distortions of his dreams, the thought of Anna Livia breaks with singular lyric beauty...
