...Some say "bar-bit-yourates" and others "barbi-tyoo-rates"; both are right according to medical and lay dictionaries. How the drug family got its name is also a fielder's choice. Some say that German Chemist Adolf Baeyer named barbiturates for St. Barbara, on whose day in 1862 he first extracted the drug in pure form.

On the appointed day, Davis and Adam lay in operating rooms on opposite sides of the street. At the School of Medicine, Adam was anesthetized, and his temperature was dropped to 90°. Then a surgeon removed the animal's two kidneys along with their ureters and a generous supply of blood vessels...
...Language Sales Talk. Rassco (for Rural & Suburban Settlement Co. Ltd.) was originally set up 30 years ago by the World Zionist Organization to lay out and stock farm communities for middle-class German Jewish refugees. But as Israel gradually became agriculturally self-sufficient, Rassco's horizons widened. The company still raises sheep in Samson's Ashkelon, and cattle on the plains of Maresha where Joshua's army marched. But through a string of 52 subsidiaries and affiliates, Rassco is now involved in citrus groves, organic fertilizer, dairies, Bible publishing, diamond polishing, supermarkets, North Atlantic fishing boats, hotels...
