...more dramatic gesture to reduce surplus, both candidates have proposed to dump it on needy nations. Though undoubtedly benevolent, this idea is not so simple as it appears. Were the United States to distribute free wheat abroad, the international market would react like a man with dropsy...
...policies is a second and more important consideration. The Soviet Union--both its leaders and its people--must not, as experts caution, be viewed simply as a monolithic conspirator on the world stage. The inhabitants have fears and beliefs, both real and forged, but sufficient to cause them to react to every move on our part quite as we react to every move on theirs. A shelter program of the size required to make it effective would provoke the Russians not unreasonably to a defensive anger, give them (and uncommitted nations) greater reason to suspect our intentions, compel them...
...studied the secretive Dr. Durovic's method of injecting into horses a preparation of killed and sterilized fungi,* waiting for the horses' systems to react, then bleeding them and extracting Krebiozen from their blood serum by a highly involved process. He has duplicated the process and has a vial containing a few milligrams of an off-white powder which he believes is identical with Durovic's Krebiozen. Ivy has also worked on Krebiozen's chemistry. It is, he declares, a "tissue hormone" secreted by the RES cells. If Krebiozen is indeed a tissue hormone...
...fake. To avoid head, arm and hip fakes. Patton watches a spot roughly in the vicinity of the receiver's wishbone, on the sound theory that it will turn when the receiver himself turns and begins to cut. "Then," says Patton, "you've got to react fast. If he gets more than one step on you, you'll never catch...
...them may have been a step in nature's progression toward life. If amino acids were continually raining down from the sky, it is natural to suppose that considerable quantities of them accumulated on fairly hot parts of the young earth's surface. The heat made them react, as in Dr. Fox's lab; after they had turned into proteinlike molecules, heavy rain dissolved them and washed them into the sea. There they cooled and formed microspheres, each of which packaged together a great assortment of proteins and similar chemicals. This process may have been repeated billions...
