...have been mapping its geography for 300 years, the lymphatic system is a Johnny-come-lately on the evolutionary stage, says Dr. Mayerson. It is found only in higher animals; the higher the animal, the more complex the system. The complexity is necessary, says Dr. Mayerson, because in the mammal, nature evolved a closed, high-pressure blood-circulating system with conduits of diminishing thickness carrying blood and oxygen to thin-walled capillaries. "But here, nature ran into a snag: the high pressure made the capillaries leaky." Even the large molecules of proteins slip through delicate capillaries. Nature had to invent...
...Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is a good clean dirty show. It stands for something. It is pro mammal. It is pro burlesque. It is pro the golden corn of vaudeville, flawlessly husked by Zero Mostel, David Burns, Jack Gilford and John Carradine.

While insisting that "the Errol the public knew-the hard-drinking, hell-raising womanizer-was a legend created by himself for publicity," the retired Belfast University professor (who recently celebrated his 54th wedding anniversary) conceded that his boy was not "perfect by any means. But neither was he wicked...
...chemical herbicide. Then William H. L. Allsopp, a British zoologist at the government fisheries laboratory in Guiana's capital city of Georgetown, took a fresh look at the weed problem. In Britain's Nature, Allsopp unveils his novel solution: the manatee, a clumsy, somewhat seal-like aquatic mammal* that flounders in the rivers and sloughs of tropical America...
