High atop a yellow cliff, a Spanish admiral looked down at the smooth flow of men and machines and termed it "an incredibly complex, perfectly organized and flawless operation."

If the left arm demands extra blood because of unwonted exercise, it gets some by drawing it in a reverse flow down the left vertebral artery, stealing it from the right vertebral artery at their junction just below the brain...
