...remains a problem, says Ludmila Davis, director of Stanford University Hospital's operating rooms, and hair is a natural breeding ground for bacteria. So Mrs. Davis and colleagues have designed a "Lawrence of Arabia helmet" to cover not only the Samson hair but also the Burnside whiskers and Mosaic beards of young, mod surgeons...
...imagery, which manages to be both specific and curiously vague. The cracked concrete is Wiley's studio floor, the tipped-over paint tin that spreads its river beneath the "bridge" is an everyday accident.

Railway workers were allowed to abandon the otherwise mandatory Heil Hitler arm salute because it was mistaken for a signal and caused accidents. Goethe's favorite oak tree near Weimar became the central point around which the Buchenwald extermination camp was built. In one village, a neighbor told a mother that the name of her missing soldier son had been read on a list of German P.O.W.s held by the Russians. Far from being grateful, the mother thereupon denounced her well-meaning informant to the authorities for listening...
