...body's immunity system tries to expel or destroy all foreign matter, Hirsch explained. "The immunity system is depressed intentionally by the drug to prevent rejection of the transplanted organ," he added...
...when he was a lowly corporal, which advised him that he would some day lead the army and later the country. It also told how and when he would die, he says, but he has never revealed the details. Another dream, last August, inspired him to expel the Asians. Still another told him, somewhat irrelevantly, that Israel "must withdraw from the territories it occupied in the Six-Day War, or they will be liberated before the end of 1974."

...rotaries, it retains many of the acknowledged advantages of conventional internal-combustion engines. In standard auto engines, for example, the reciprocating actions of cylindrical pistons successively suck in a mixture of gasoline and air, compress it, turn a crankshaft after an electric spark touches off the explosive vapors, then expel the burned fuel residues. In rotary engines like the Wankel, the same effect is achieved not by reciprocating pistons but by a turning rotor. As it revolves inside a specially shaped chamber, the rotor is able to perform all the basic strokes of a piston engine: induction, compression, ignition...
...calls it-a distinctive feature. By relieving the power piston of the job of inducting air, it allows the engine to take in more air and burn its fuel during a much greater portion of each cycle than in conventional engines. Moreover, a blast of fresh air helps expel the exhaust gases before any more fuel is introduced. The net result, Ansdale explains, is not only a more efficient use of gasoline, but also less of the unburned chemical residue that is a major source of automotive pollution...
