Transplantation of the cartilage that surrounds the bone in joints would offer hope to vast numbers of victims of arthritis and other joint diseases. And, said Glasgow's Dr. Thomas Gibson, there would be no rejection problem, because cartilage is bloodless. But cartilage by itself is not enough. In animals, joints have been reconstructed successfully with cartilage left adhering to a delicately sculptured layer of bone, though Gibson is not yet ready to try that approach...
...less seniority (168 years) than any other Scottish regiment, and many of its "Highlander" troops come from Glasgow or London. Still, that has not prevented the British army's Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders from enjoying a reputation almost as fierce as that of the mountain lairds of ancient Scotland. Some of the kilted troops, in fact, especially when the skirling of the pipers is loudest, trace the beginning of the regiment to "the licking we gave the English at Bannockburn" in 1314, when Scotland won temporary independence.

...illegitimate son of a Glasgow tearoom waitress, Ian Brady had a gift for making even his tastes in the varieties of evil seem a cliché. As a boy, he buried a cat alive, collected Nazi souvenirs, stole shillings from gas meters around Manchester. After early crushes on such villains as Josef Kramer, commandant of the Belsen concentration camp, and Harry Lime of The Third Man, Ian finally met his true soul mate in the Marquis de Sade-a literary encounter that Williams recklessly compares to Keats's stumbling upon Chapman's Homer...
