However, seven of the 20 insurgents are considering boycotting the present lecture and lab system, and establishing the independent study program themselves, if the faculty does not approve the plan...
...year President Toll is a theoretical physicist from the University of Maryland; his reputation-plus a $45,000-a-year salary-recently lured Nobel Physicist C. N. Yang to Stony Brook to head an Institute of Theoretical Physics that will have a $2,700,000 nuclear lab. Toll, who has also captured English Scholars Alfred Kazin and Peter Alexander, expects all his big-name professors to teach undergrads and all his researchers to apply their research to their teaching. He is applying Pentagon-style systems analysis to his educational goals, is trying programmed teaching by computer in basic physics...
Where to Put It? Dr. Trimmer took both the old and the new Surital bottles to the lab for analysis. But little analysis was needed. As soon as the older bottle was unstoppered, it reeked with the unmistakable odor of ether-something that had not happened when the cap had only been pierced by a syringe needle. Ether is almost always given by inhalation, and is used intravenously only in the rarest special cases (it inflames the lungs and depresses the heart and nervous system). So how had ether got into the Surital bottle...
...quite by accident that University of Rochester researchers first discovered zinc's help to healing. The researchers were studying the recovery times of deliberately wounded lab rats, and no one could figure out why one cageful of rodents was healing noticeably faster than the others. Painstaking detective work finally uncovered a possible explanation: the fast-healing rats had been eating food contaminated with compounds of zinc. To check their suspicions, the researchers experimented with 600 rats and confirmed that the presence of zinc in the diet aided rat-tissue regrowth after injury...
With no government or university support, Laborit works, with eleven assistants, in the same crowded four-room lab he built eight years ago, and maintains with income from his discoveries...
