...across the Elbe in East Germany, where the old law has been abolished and the bakers' ovens glow all the long night. To remedy the West's plight, and despite East and West Germans' conflicts over Berlin, Hannoverian Businessman Hans-Joachim Ermeler, 45, reached across the Iron Curtain and asked East Berlin's Trade Commission if it would be interested in shipping 60,000 fresh Brötchen over the border each morning. The East Germans were indeed: the deal will net the Communist regime some $250,000 a year in hard-currency marks. They have...
...pianos and canopied beds. Like animated editorial cartoons, their opposition was always a vested-and usually watch-chained-interest on the order of Edward Arnold. The heroine-Barbara Stanwyck or Jean Arthur-spoke with a catch in her throat that accented her vulnerability. But she had a whim of iron, and when she urged John Doe or Mr. Smith to Washington, the nation's laws were rewritten on the spot. As the Girl Friday, she was the flip, half-emancipated helpmeet to the strong but bumbling American Male...
...little Lee turned a tidy profit on that happy coincidence-collecting golf balls that strayed over the fence, selling them back to club members. "I cleared maybe $10 a day." Combining pleasure with business, he took up the game himself- playing with a discarded, wooden-shafted No. 5 iron that he discovered one day and sawed down to size...
...Iron Mike, Punchy and the rest of the gang back at Stillman's Gym will never believe it, but Willie the Weep McGinnity has become a bullfighting fan. It is only a month or so since Myra, Willie's old lady, dragged him off to Spain ("Willie," she said, "you hit the twin double for four big ones and you expect me to go to the Catskills again?"), but already he has seen three bullfights. The first time Willie went because Myra was out shopping, and it was the only wheel in Madrid. When he got back...
Each hemoglobin molecule, Perutz found, consists of 10,000 atoms, of which four are iron atoms that have an affinity for oxygen. In the lungs, in the presence of oxygen, the hemoglobin molecule changes shape, moving each of the four iron atoms, which are located in separate "pockets" on its surface, to different positions. This change increases by 300 times the molecule's attraction for oxygen atoms, pulling four of them into combination with the iron atoms. It is only because there are 280 million hemoglobin molecules in each red corpuscle that the blood has sufficient oxygen-carrying capacity...
