Sihanouk needed all the prestige he could extract from touching the hem of De Gaulle's khaki tunic. In the green-and-gold Throne Pavilion, Sihanouk made the two-star French brigadier general an Honorary Supreme General of the Royal Khmer Armed Forces. Under a great moon at the ancient temple of Angkor Wat, Sihanouk recreated the festival of the coronation of a Khmer king. Everywhere, in his toasts and speeches, the Prince was all praise, reminding De Gaulle of "your prestige, your wiseness, your clairvoyance, your sense of equity...

Segregated Compounds. To prepare a bacterial chromatogram, Scientists Alexander and Gould use a pure strain of bacteria, allow them to grow for several hours in a nutrient solution, then extract the metabolic products that have been excreted. These are injected into a chromatograph, where they are converted by heat into gaseous form and fed into a column containing a packing material and an organic liquid such as Carbowax-a chemical that has a different attraction for the molecules of each chemical compound. Thus every compound that passes through the column is slowed to a degree...
...days, Dr. Phillips plied the child with weird substances, including massive doses of desiccated ox bile and extract of beef eye. Four months later, Linda was dead of cancer. When Dr. Phillips submitted a bill for $739, the Eppings charged him with grand theft by false pretenses. Appalled at what he viewed as the first recorded "murder by words," the prosecutor switched the grand-theft charge to murder on the ground that Phillips caused a death while committing a felony (defrauding the Eppings). After a three-week trial, the jury convicted the doctor of second-degree murder...
