...when four-inch plates would easily have done the job. "We make the heaviest machines in the world," sighed Nikita. His choice complaint, however, had to do with a Moscow chandelier factory: the more tons of chandeliers the plant produced, the more workers earned in bonuses. The chandeliers grew heavier and heavier, until they started pulling ceilings down. They fulfilled the plan, admitted Khrushchev angrily, "but who needs this plan? To whom does it give light...

In trial runs at Lake Placid, N.Y., last month, a two-man G.M. sled beat the best time of a heavier, four-man Podar -and the four-man G.M. was faster yet.

In 1836 a fire swept the cathedral and silenced the organ for a decade. Two world wars took an even heavier toll. The cathedral's stainedglass windows, removed to protect them from bombing raids, were replaced by sheets of oilcloth, which soon developed gaping holes, admitting not only rain and wind but also squadrons of pigeons that fancied the organ pipes as a roost.

...true that one type of virus triggers the production of only one kind of antibody. His work confirmed that guinea pigs have at least two kinds, and higher animals have three.
