Earthbound doctors, noting its blue glass panels, have dubbed it "the cyanotic silo." Arranged in a basically circular pattern (see diagram), the ground floor is used for a blood bank. The second floor is for heart surgery, but the actual operating rooms occupy only two spaces shaped like generous slices of a pie. The third floor has masses of equipment for recording the research doctors' data, and glass observation domes for looking down into the heart operating rooms...
...Durovic surrendered a sampling of Krebiozen to FDA agents last July, and at once chemists began systematic analysis with an infrared spectroscope. After the complex spectrogram was compared with that of thousands of other organic compounds, the pattern of Krebiozen was found to match that of creatine. Ironically, Krebiozen is much easier to produce than Dr. Durovic may realize; he uses benzene, in which creatine is highly insoluble, for extraction. Using plain water as a solvent for the process, he might get several hundred times more amino acid derivative from each horse...
...Lunatic Pattern. The shortcomings are partly rooted in vo-ed's history. Under laws going back to 1917, almost half of the total federal outlays for vocational education are channeled into agriculture and home economics. Since state and local officials conform to the rules so as to get as much federal money as possible, the result is a lunatic pattern. Last year 26% of all vo-ed funds went into agricultural training, although fulltime farm workers comprise only 6% of the nation's labor force...
...smooth pattern of action is broken, man, horse, steer-or all three -can be crippled or killed. To rodeo men, the poorest form of all is called the "houlihan," when a bulldogger illegally knocks the steer down as he jumps from his horse and the dazed animal somersaults on top of him. In a "dog fall," the steer collapses with its legs tucked under its body, then has to be raised and thrown again. The "rubberneck steer" can let its head be twisted 180° or more, so that it is almost impossible to throw. Some steers veer under...
Willis meets the Negroes' complaints with what a federal judge last year labeled "benign indifference." Confronted with Negro demands for a loosening of the neighborhood-school pattern, Willis put forward a token transfer plan under which a total of only 32 children switched to other schools. Willis argues that he is not interested in maintaining segregation but only in preserving the concept of the neighborhood school. "I'm an educator, not a social worker," he says. "I don't go around counting Negroes, Indians, Hindus or any other group." When a delegation of N.A.A.C.P. leaders from...
