Malnutrition is slow starvation. Doctors agree that 1,500 calories a day (the U.S. Army gets 3,600) is rock-bottom if the body is to perform even the primary function of keeping alive. Below 1,500 calories the body begins to feed on itself. Fat layers between muscles and around vital organs disappear. Anemia sets in. As resistance is lowered, the system falls easy prey to tuberculosis, dysentery, blood poisoning...
Foundations of Multiple Management are three elective employe bodies: a junior board of directors, a factory board, and a sales and advertising board. Their function is to feed ideas to the senior (stockholders') board. In a five-year period, 2,109 such ideas were adopted, among them the Olde English theme for advertising: only six were scrapped. This creative drive, President McCormick soberly believes, pulled his company out of the red, has kept it going ever since...
...Forty-one manestically spaced grouting brushes were arranged to feed into the rotor slipstream a mixture of high S-value phenylhydrobenzamine and 5% reminative tetryliodohexamine. Both of these liquids have specific pericosities given by P = 2.5C.n^6-7 where n is the diathetical evolute of retrograde temperature phase disposition and C is Cholmondeley's annular grillage coefficient. Initially, n was measured with the aid of a metapolar refractive pilfrometer . . . but up to the present date nothing has been found to equal the transcendental hopper dadoscope...
...replace the diminished Jordan, JVA will feed the Dead Sea with a river of sea water sucked out of the Mediterranean. Raised 140 feet by pumps near Haifa, it will pass through the low divide in a tunnel or a deep open cut. When it reaches the Jordan rift, it will plunge 900 feet to a power plant, then will drop 300 feet to another. The briny river's flow will be limited to about 1,000 cubic feet per second, to match evaporation from the Dead Sea. But its drop will be so great that it will generate...
...deceitful, lazy, lousy, and hardly knows up from down. His cardinal urges are sexual, although he doesn't begin to understand why. Pregnancy, everyone believes, is a matter of solitary female ritual, magic; the child is a fruit of moonstruck female blood. "There was not much to feed a man's ego," Novelist Fisher explains...
