...built a machine that would automatically construct patterns of sound according to the laws he'd uncovered. He had banks of oscillators and mixers--in fact, he modified an ordinary electronic organ for this part of the apparatus--which were controlled by his composing machine...
...play the Science Center like an organ," Frederick H. Abernathy, McKay Professor of Mechanical Engineering, says when describing the vast blower system that pumps air in and out of the eight-year-old building. One of the most inefficient of the 175 or so buildings under the jurisdiction of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the Science Center is the youngest of what Abernathy and his team of efficiency investigators like to call "the Big Four": the Faculty buildings that consume--and waste--the most energy each year...
...Republican Party in those days was not entirely speechless either. Connoisseurs of the genre remember the sublimely fogbound organ tones of Illinois' Everett McKinley Dirksen. In his early career, writes Biographer Neil MacNeil, Dirksen "bellowed his speeches in a mongrel mix of grand opera and hog calling." Over the years, he developed a style of infinitely subtle fustian, whose effect can still be remotely approximated by sipping twelve-year-old bourbon, straight, while reading Dickens aloud, in a sort of sepulchral purr. Would he criticize an erring colleague? someone would ask. "I shall invoke upon him every condign imprecation...
...rock, and R&B maintains a measure of continuity with the recent albums, aided perhaps by the continued presence of engineer Greg Ladanyi and several hold-overs from The Section, including David Lindley. Lindley's fiddle, alas, has no place in the new sound: Bill Payne, with the electronic organ heard out across the wilderness of "Your Bright Baby Blues" is a more likely Pied Piper for the post-adolescent who not long ago was a child in these hills. Though he's rolling down the other side of 30, Browne's voice has grown in strength, range, and balance...
...mice done five years ago by César Milstein and Georges Köhler in Britain. By injecting foreign substances into the animals, they stimulated the production of antibodies against the invaders. Then they removed the animals' spleens, a major site for antibody production, and mixed the organ's antibody-producing cells with cancer cells. The result: hybrid cells, dubbed hybridomas, that inherited from the spleen the ability to produce antibodies and from the malignant cells the ability to replicate themselves indefinitely. These hybridomas produce identical copies of themselves-clones -and thus serve as minifactories...
