...cornea of the eye is one part of the body that can be transplanted from one human being to another without touching off the immune reaction or rejection mechanism which dooms most skin and organ grafts. Because of this cornea capability, "eye banks" have helped surgeons restore vision to tens of thousands. But at best the banks have difficulty matching supply with demand, and in many parts of the world, where religious scruples intervene, eye banks cannot even get started. Why not use animal corneas...
...know, Martha, something fishy about that movie. Doesn't look like a movie, or sound like a movie. Somebody said it was done by an unemployed T.V. director who had nothing better to do, Larry Peerce (he's Jan's son!). I know the orchestra sounded like the organ on "Young Doctor Malone," but an organ's an organ. And, also, usually those festival prizes go to movies I never understand. I mean I certainly liked "One Potato, Two Potato" but some young people left the theatre muttering about how important a "nuclear family" is. But I guess some people...
...said. "One more inch and he'd have been dead." After California's Governor Pat Brown finished the "co-nominating" speech (it was the first time there had ever been two of them), the strains of Happy Days Are Here Again thundered from a giant pipe organ, and a 25-minute demonstration for Lyndon began. It had more noise (klaxons, foghorns, etc.) and color (yellow balloons, tiny parachutes with American flags, sunflower posters for Kansas, gold-foil sunbursts for California and real corn for Iowa) than most such orgies, but those outside the hall saw very little...
Golden Rule. In political speeches, Goldwater generally forgoes organ-tone wind-ups appealing to Providence. But he almost always stresses the religious underpinnings of his political philosophy. Said he in his San Francisco acceptance speech: "Those who seek to take your liberty, those who elevate the state and downgrade the citizen, must see ultimately a world in which earthly power can be substituted for Divine Will. And this nation was founded upon the acceptance of God as the author of freedom...
Shinn does not yet have the answer, but he is running elaborate tests to find out. It may be that the cautious pipe-organ wasps are repelled by the faint odor of ozone and other gases that rise from radioactive mud. More fascinating is the possibility that among the wasps of Oak Ridge, which have been exposed to radioactive wastes for a longer period than any others, the pipe-organ daub ers may have evolved a special sense that detects radioactivity and enables them to build nests that will not be lethal to their sensitive young...
