She claims to have seen her father commit suicide when she was twelve, though he died of an alcoholic liver. In that same year, she insists, she was raped in Hyde Park, though this is her symbolic retaliation for her mother's remarriage. She is also a live-in pyromaniac who blithely announces: "I set fire to things...

Born in Germany, Krebs was a researcher in Berlin in 1932 when he discovered the urea cycle, a biochemical process in which urea, the product of metabolized protein, is formed in the liver. Four years later, after fleeing to England from Nazi Germany, he discovered the citric acid cycle-later named the Krebs cycle-in which organisms convert carbon compounds into carbon dioxide. In the late 1950s, he discovered the glyoxylate cycle, in which fats are used as carbon sources for cell growth. Krebs...
