...temporal lobe; to remove it, her neurosurgeon thought, would be a morning's easy routine in St. Luke's Hospital in New York City. But when the surgeon set to work, opening the skull and cutting for the growth, the girl's brain turned into a monster, swelling uncontrollably. Angry and desperate, the surgeon eventually closed her incision, certain that the patient would soon die. But for reasons as inexplicable as its rampage, the brain slowly recovered-damaged, but still eminently serviceable. Although she has had to retrain herself in many routines. Kathy Morris functions well...
There are simple drawings in Steinberg's oeuvre, but very few simple situations. He delights in apparently simple ones: the conflict between a hero and a dragon, for instance. But then we find the fight is rigged. The hero and the monster are actually partners; they have a deal; without a dragon, what can a hero do? One drawing makes this point with particular elegance: a new kind of adversary, a man with a cannon, is drawing a bead on the dragon. The hero is about to save his enemy by attacking the gunman from the rear. In another drawing...
...could be signed this year, it would not impose significant cutbacks in Soviet and American nuclear arms. Such a treaty would, for instance, probably permit both sides to deploy about 2,200 nuclear-weapon launchers (including strategic bombers). Furthermore, it is not expected to cut the number of Soviet monster rockets, like the SS-18, which could threaten the U.S. Minuteman missiles. As a result, Washington is considering going ahead with the development of the sophisticated MX missile. The mobility of the MX, which may run on underground rails, will make it an elusive target for Soviet missiles, theoretically ensuring...
...complex, fascinating brothers took their achievements lightly. In Rome to be honored by Pius XII, Ronald chat ted amiably with the Pontiff about the Loch Ness monster. When Edmund, in his 70s, was asked to write his autobiography, he declined, but suggested a title: Must We Have Lives? Penelope, happily, decided that they must. - Mayo Mohs
Ewing should meet Jack Tessman, a physics professor at Massachusetts' Tufts University. To win a local television contest, the latter calculated the number of snowflakes that fell on Boston during February's monster storm. He multiplied the average snowfall depth (27 in.) by the area of Boston (43 sq. mi.), then divided the result by the volume of the average snowflake (1/10,000 cu. in.). Answer: 50 quadrillion (5 X 10 16) snowflakes. His prize: a Tessman family portrait-in snow...
