...neurons like caviar on a canape. Hyden and his colleagues at Goteborg, by exquisitely delicate techniques, have separated neurons from their adherent glial cells and have weighed them in units as small as millionths of a millionth of a gram. By taking fresh, still-living cells from a rabbit's brain, the Hyden team has been able to find out how they use and convert their chemical fuels under varying conditions...
Bruce Lamb, 17, was out rabbit hunting on the high plains near his home in Powell, Wyo. when one of his high school classmates accidentally plugged him in the back. The .22-cal. slug slammed into his left shoulder, about three in. left of his spine. At War Memorial Hospital, the family doctor, Ray Christensen, found that Bruce's left lung had been punctured.

One day her butler turned up in Jack's office with a hamper, expertly laid out a gleaming white cloth on his desk, then served a savory hot lunch in a baby's hot plate, "the kind you eat to the bottom and find a bunny rabbit."
