...better demonstrated than in November. He had just piled up the greatest popular vote ever, blurring party lines and dissolving traditional regional loyalties as he swept everything except Arizona and five Deep South states. Partly, the scope of his victory was due to his opponent's narrow appeal, but his own strength in drawing 43 million votes was undeniable. He was proud of, and grateful for, his victory. Said he: "The people are pretty fair. They said, 'He brought us through this, he landed this plane, he did a pretty fair job.'" He also declared...
...outer part of the transplanted human cornea can be left in place, cloudy as it is. Dr. Stone removes most of the thickness in the center, and sets in place a narrow, artificial cornea made of polymethyl methacrylate surrounded by a Teflon skirt (see diagram). The very center of the device is threaded so that it can be moved in or out to adjust its optical characteristics. And if the patient should need further major surgery, the plug can be unscrewed all the way, giving the surgeon direct access to the inside of the eyeball. As for the inside, where...

As for whether hallucinogens might be used to establish mind control over the masses, Dr. Cohen dismisses this as a bogy. But he is deeply concerned over the possible use of such drugs in chemical warfare...
Lawrence died in 1930, leaving generations of teen-agers to pore over his lyrical celebrations of sex (Lady Chatterley's Lover, The Plumed Serpent) as a mystical force that was its own imperative, displacing petty considerations of established custom, narrow morality or Christian ethic. For 26 years, until her own death in 1956, Frieda loyally supported the image of Lawrence as the ultimate male. But all the while she was writing an extensive fictionalized memoir. In this book, Professor E. W. Tedlock Jr. of the University of New Mexico has tried to patch together her fragmentary memoir into...
