...fireworks, the ever-popular lion dance, and elaborate fairground games. At one game, youngsters could take part in simulated shoot-downs of enemy aircraft; at another, engineering students could test their skills at a mock-up oil-drilling station. If they correctly manipulated the levers and buttons, a dark liquid gushed into...
...Fouty cut into the breast and within about ten minutes had removed the lump. It proved to be 2 cm. in circumference-no bigger than the tip of a man's little finger. A technician rushed the lump to the pathology department, where it was fast-frozen with liquid nitrogen. A thin slice was cut, which a pathologist examined under a microscope. Within five minutes the message was relayed to Fouty: malignant cells. In a 2½-hour procedure, Fouty removed the entire right breast, its underlying pectoral muscle, and lymphoid tissue in the adjacent armpit. This tissue...
...dual role of Odette-Odile in Swan Lake is one of ballet's supreme challenges, and there are many women who meet it with grace and liquid beauty. Plisetskaya, though, is unique.

In a breathtaking act of theatrical magic, Plisetskaya somehow becomes a lovely humanoid swan giving a passable imitation of a shy maiden. This remarkable ballerina is now 48, and her short, chunky legs have clearly lost some of their spring. But Plisetskaya's legs seem almost secondary...
...Pioneer found that Jupiter's equatorial diameter (88,298 miles) is nearly 6,000 miles greater than the spread between its poles. The data returned by the spacecraft also support the long-held theory that Jupiter is unique among planets: a great ball of whirling gases and liquids with no solid surface. Its outermost 600 miles consist of an atmosphere of hydrogen and helium gases laced with clouds composed of crystals of ammonia, ammonia hydrosulfide and water ice. The rest of the planet is mostly a seething cauldron of liquid hydrogen, except perhaps for a small, rocky, possibly iron...
...losing the world and her dear life for love. David Birney's Romeo is so limp and bland that it comes as a wondrous surprise that he has either the will or strength to climb to Juliet's balcony. Mercutio, that man from whom words flow like liquid light, emerges in David Rounds' rendering as little more than a stand-up nightclub comic...
