...stroke injury may be caused by imbalances in the brain's neurotransmitters, the chemicals that carry nerve impulses from one neuron, or brain cell, to another. The doctors base their theory on experiments in which Neurosurgeon Zervas produced massive strokes in 13 monkeys by cutting off blood flow-and thus oxygen-to the left sides of their brains. Examining the brains afterward, he and Wurtman found that there were dramatic changes in the levels of dopamine, a substance that transmits nerve impulses among the brain cells that help coordinate movements. The amount of this chemical in the left halves...
...Washington Post was taken to court by citizens seeking to abridge, massively perhaps, the most fundamental weapon of a free press: the right of a newspaper to keep its sources confidential. If governments or citizens can force newspapers to reveal the sources of their information, the free flow of reporting that Lippmann described as essential to freedom of the press will be seriously impaired.

But the effect of this carefully calculated atmosphere belongs not to the individual details but to the flow of the film from one to the other, their cumulative building-up, and also to similarity among different modes of things. Something like the way a distant shot of characters is set off by the sound of their voices from a microphone obviously close at hand, or the way Chicamaw...
...shrouded pitch and rhythm with an excessive vibrato. Tenor Ivan Oak had inexcusable difficulty in following the conductor which, together with an inability to pronounce the German text, resulted in a disappointing performance. David Evitts, however, displaying a full-toned but agile bass, gave the sensation of an effortless flow of notes...
