Holy Cross doctors took X rays which indicated stomach cancer, and incidentally showed a stonelike mass, 6 in. long, in the abdomen. Dr. Edward J. Krol and colleagues decided to remove it. The object, they report in the Illinois Medical Journal, was a lithopedion (stone child), a petrified fetus of three to four months' gestation. The doctors' conclusion: what had troubled Mrs. W. 37 years ago was not the flu but an ectopic pregnancy, in which the fertilized ovum had lodged in one of the Fallopian tubes. As the fetus grew, it burst the tube and escaped into...
Gongora obtained this "new reality" by fusing poetic objects, regardless of their former relations to each other or their former composition, according to Guillen. The new object is as much a reality as the original ones...
...Paso, somebody reported a "wondrous white craft with forward and aft searchlights, a pair of propellers and a cigar-shaped body with giant wings." ¶ In Atlanta, a man and his wife saw a "high object with about eight lights on it"; a hunter reported a great horizontal beam; a woman saw a red, egg-shaped thing; a housewife thought it was a cigar; three truck drivers said it was a red, egg-shaped ball...
...Mexico, Coast Guard crewmen saw-and tracked on radar-a U.F.O. that sped across the sky. A few of the sightings were accompanied by fascinating detail. From Reinhold Schmidt, a 48-year-old grain buyer who was driving through Nebraska, came the claim that he approached a cigar-shaped object that had landed. A ray of light froze him in his tracks, he said, and two spacemen dressed in American business suits searched him, then invited him aboard. They spoke High German, Schmidt insisted, and told him that "you'll know in the near future what this...
...commonest kind of radioisotope is any element (gold, cobalt, strontium) that has been placed inside a reactor long enough to become radioactive, i.e., to shoot off alpha, beta or gamma rays. Then, when these rays hit another object, their speed or intensity changes; by using Geiger counters and other devices to detect the rays, technicians can learn many filings' about the objects under bombardment. And when isotopes are added to liquids, their flow can easily be followed by Geiger counters...
