...moans were soft and low, an ocean's breeze, finally sinking after long sailing. Her body rocked, though gently. She barely moved. The morning's great passion complete, she simply chews her thoughts now, turning them over and over, soft, fluid clay. Her thoughts were wordless and unformed; they were just wet masses that hung over her mind, dripping their lack of nourishment into half prayers...
Fifth Column. Good's achievements in immunology rest on a broad foundation of work by other scientists dating back to 1796, when the British Physician Edward Jenner inoculated an eight-year-old boy with fluid from a cowpox pustule in a successful attempt to give him resistance against the more virulent smallpox. Jenner knew nothing about the immune system, but he had recognized that milkmaids who frequently came in contact with cows suffering from cowpox seldom contracted smallpox. Scientists began to suspect that the body had a mechanism for identifying and combatting disease agents only after Louis Pasteur discovered...

Against such backdrops, human figures appear tiny, lost, joined together only be sweeping pans or long, fluid tracking shots. Narrower perspectives guide the eye: corridors that open out of a stuccoed wall, an avenue of tall poplars leading to the house of a rich local land owner...
