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...
...chemistry. Essentially, what is required is a batch of lysergic acid dissolved in some other chemicals plus a solution of diethylamine (a volatile liquid used in processes like vulcanizing). The two batches, cooled to freezing and stirred together, result in a solution that contains LSD. The trick is to extract the LSD from the solution. This can be done with the help of chloroform, benzine, a vacuum evaporator or steam bath, and a glass gadget known as a chromatographic column (available in any chemistry supply shop...
...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...
...Travers--both interesting and neither terribly well structured. Auden was too cagey to say anything at all, and Miss Travers--who seems to have written her own interview--said rather too much rather too well to preserve the conventions of the occasion. The failure of The Island to extract from Auden anything more significant than his remarks on the American postal system led the interviewer into a few unskillful New Yorkerisms ("The Island wanted more coffee"..."As a matter of fact, the Island has been to Iceland"); (and the mountain to Muhammed?). Despite Miss Travers' sweet disarming mysticism, which occasionally...
Trial by Police. Clearly, the critical confrontation today is often reached in the station-house "squeal room," where police "make" cases by eliciting presumably voluntary confessions. Although the Fifth Amendment bars the use of any confession that police extract by even the most subtle threats or promises, and though no American need answer a single police question, those facts are generally unknown to the vast majority of arrested Americans-the poor in pocket, mind or spirit. For the Fifth Amendment does not automatically command police to inform anyone of his rights; the suspect himself must know those rights in order...
