Droplets in Flood. Schorer, now professor of English at the University of California at Berkeley, spent nine years preparing this elaborate biography. The amount of detail might have staggered Lewis himself, who worshiped detail. To extract two droplets from the flood: the book reveals that the four cords of wood that Dr. Lewis asked his son to chop on Feb. 23, 1903, were really 4¼ cords, and that on a Canadian trip in 1924 Lewis passed through Goose Lake, Snake Lake, Trout Lake, Clam Lake and Lac la Ronge. Research is the opium of the biographers; when...
...Burl Stevens Watson, 67, drawls self-effacingly, "I'm just an average man. There's no romance in my story." But last week Alabama-bred Oilman Watson made stories all over the nation's business pages. At midweek Cities Service won an Interior Department contract to extract, process and sell to the U.S. up to $9.1 million a year worth of helium, production of which the Government previously monopolized. Next day Watson announced plans for a $108 million stock swap to acquire Columbian Carbon Co., an $80 million-a-year producer of carbon black, ink and pigments.Both...
...Gaievskaya theory, when heart stoppage cuts off the blood supply, the brain can no longer get oxygen to burn sugar for its energy. So it switches to a cruder, less efficient way of breaking down sugar without blood-borne oxygen (anaerobic glycolysis) to extract whatever energy it can. This emergency system will work for about six minutes. If the body is revived during this time, the brain makes a gradual transition, taking half an hour, back to using oxygen...
Other cheeses that wear a protective coating of B. linens are Harz, Muenster, Port du Salut and Tilsiter. Liederkranz is the most heavily protected of all. Whether Dr. Grecz's unnamed antibiotic can ever be used in human patients is doubtful, though Eli Lilly & Co. is trying to extract enough to test it in animals. Its main use is likely to be in the processing of cheeses and other foods...
...officials have been appointed by Diem or his brother because of their personal loyalty rather than their efficiency, and all too often they have taken advantage of their position to extort money from the peasants, throw local merchants into jail, nominally on suspicion of Communist sympathizing, in order to extract ransom. Thus, when the Viet Cong contrive the murder of some local official, the villagers frequently hail them as liberators...
