...left between the signal and the food that follows, or if signals are simply mixed. A fourth way, and to Dr. Sargant the most important for human analogy, is to wear a dog dowri by subjecting it to excessive work (on a treadmill), upsetting its stomach with irregular feedings or bad food, or inducing a fever. Even if the first three fail to break down a "calm imperturbable" dog, the fourth will work, according to Pavlov...
...groveled abjectly before the man he had forced into exile, begging forgiveness. The Sultan had granted it, and promised royal protection for El Glaoui's sons and heirs. But the militant Istiqlal had no such inhibitions. It called on the Moundamah Seria, an irregular secret police organized by the Istiqlal during the battle for independence. On May Day the Moundamah Seria's armed men moved. One Glaoui son was seized as he drove through the old medina. Three others were intercepted as they left the palace on the way to the golf links. Other Moundamah Seria soldiers swarmed...
...those that cause both ovulation and menstruation. If a woman is not menstruating at all, she may take a pill a day for ten to 15 days; three days after she stops, she should begin a regular cycle (though repeat-courses may be needed in some cases). For irregular, excessive or painful menstruation or for between-periods bleeding, the drug is taken on different schedules which must be prescribed by a doctor...
...last week Gunnar Larsson started from Sälen just as Vasa did, with hope. He pushed steadily across the wooded hills and frozen streams of the irregular land. Before the race was over, more than 100 exhausted skiers of the 583-man field had quit, but Larsson, as usual, stuck it out. On his ninth try, he swept first across the finish line near a statue of King Gustav Vasa that marks the spot where the young revolutionary harangued the Dalecarlian peasants four centuries ago. For one year, until time for the next Vasaloppet, Gunnar Larsson will be Sweden...
...Professor Vilhelm Bjerknes of Norway and his son Jacob decided that the fractious cyclones, though they may be 1,000 miles across, are only minor bit-players in the weather drama. The leading players are enormous masses of cold, dry air that sweep down from the polar regions at irregular intervals. The Bjerknes theory, emphasizing fronts and air masses rather than cyclones, lit up meteorology like a new sun rising, and upgraded it into a more exact science. It is still the basis of the familiar newspaper weather maps...
