...countryside, where 80% of the population still lives, the ravages of the world's worst chronic inflation are scarcely felt. Most families can grow enough food to get along and often have enough left over to barter for clothes and even bicycles. In the cities, life for most is not so easy. The monthly wage of an average white-collar worker would barely buy a round of drinks in the Hotel Indonesia bar. To make ends meet, city dwellers have invented a sort of guerrilla economy. Almost everyone has a racket...
...talks to animals, as a $12 million 20th Century-Fox musical extravaganza, starring Rex Harrison, Samantha Eggar, Tony Newley, and a cast of 1,147 other humans and 1,500 beasts. To play the featured role of Gub-Gub the pig, he will need 40 trained piglets (because they grow out of the part so fast). The fabled two-headed pushmi-pullyu will be re-created by two llamas, artfully superimposed on film back to back. Under the circumstances, what could be more natural than for Jacobs to cast Castle Combe as the good doctor's 19th century home...
...lawn in order to think better. For this is the first and only goal of a "university" that has neither students nor classes, and conducts seminars that no one is obliged to attend. Now 36 years old, the Institute is a unique haven for scholars to think, ponder and grow wise, shielded from life's more mundane distractions and freed from normal academic obligations. "The one thing we will never ask you," Institute Director J. Robert Oppenheimer tells newcomers, is 'What are you doing...
...that search ended when five-year-old Jeryl Lynn Hilleman came down with mumps. Jeryl Lynn is the daughter of Dr. Maurice R. Hilleman, head of the virology team at Merck Sharp & Dohme Institute for Therapeutic Research, which had been hunting for years for a mumps virus that would grow well in the lab and lose its virulence, while still retaining its power to give immunity. Dr. Hilleman and Dr. Eugene Buynak found that Jeryl Lynn's virus was just what they wanted...
Segregated Compounds. To prepare a bacterial chromatogram, Scientists Alexander and Gould use a pure strain of bacteria, allow them to grow for several hours in a nutrient solution, then extract the metabolic products that have been excreted. These are injected into a chromatograph, where they are converted by heat into gaseous form and fed into a column containing a packing material and an organic liquid such as Carbowax-a chemical that has a different attraction for the molecules of each chemical compound. Thus every compound that passes through the column is slowed to a degree...
