...dissolved in hot water some of the proteinoids that he made by heating amino acids. When he cooled the solution, billions of microspheres appeared, about the size of cocci (round bacteria) and looking very much like them. They shrink when salt is added, and this suggests that they are hollow and that their walls are slightly permeable like the cell walls of bacteria...
Stuart Vaughan's directing usually shows a sure hand, but, to switch extremities, he makes one false step. Part One ends with an overly theatrical addition: soldiers kneel in a hollow halfcircle, facing inward with banners flying, and cheer several times: "For England and Saint George!.!" This might come off after Henry V, but Henry IV: I does not end on a note that can sustain a gesture such as Vaughan has added to the script. Except for this mistake, Vaughan's staging always enhances Shakespeare and shows his willingness to trust the plays, a welcome change from the fooling...
...hollow needle was inserted in a vein of his wasted arm, Boris murmured to his wife: "Dosvidanya [goodbye]." Moments later, blood gushed from his mouth. "Why am I hemorrhaging?" he asked.

Yet early last month Israeli secret agents identified their quarry. From then on, they stalked him day and night. A five-man commando squad headed by one Yehudah Shimoni was sent from Israel to Buenos Aires. At the same time. El Al (Israeli Airlines) New York Station Manager Joseph Klein, who himself bears a tattooed number from one of Eichmann's concentration camps on his arm, flew down...
...Hollow Stones. "I have learned to respect mechanical equipment," Kahn says. "You can't keep the gimmicks out, so you have to plan for them so they won't ruin your building later." The need to incorporate air conduits and the whole ganglion of mechanical equipment led Kahn to conceive of columns as "hollow stones" in which the clutter could be stored. From there it was only a step to dividing spaces into major, clear areas and subsidiary "servant spaces." By making this distinction, Kahn has revived functionalism once again as a springboard for esthetics...
