Their neighbor, a pathologist, gave him slides of organs preserved in formaldehyde, and Marshall says he discovered a method of breeding paramecia—single-celled organisms—in a mixture of grass, water, and cocoa powder.“My mother thought the protozoa would climb out and attack the house,” he says, but he assured her they couldn’t survive outside containment.Marshall...

If an area fails to attract a critical mass within 12 months, which many of the districts likely will...

Her style of play, a powerful baseline game anchored by double-handed ground strokes on both sides, contrasts with that of the other Chinese who tend to rely on doggedness and consistency. The one-size-fits-all coaching method is likely holding her back. "She could be a top-10 player, easy," says a European coach who trained with Peng in China. "But the Chinese have to be willing to let her go, and I'm not sure they'll do that. They want credit for developing her, and they...
