After as little as one week, the femurs (leg bones) of young mice get rounder in cross section than normal femurs. Dr. Wunder believes that this change is an adaptation to strengthen the bone and allow it to support the abnormal weight of the high-G mouse. Chickens react in somewhat the same way: Dr. Alfred Smith of the University of California has found that when they are centrifuged, the anti-gravity muscles of their drumsticks grow to as much as seven times normal. But chickens are not so successful as mice at high-G reproduction. They try-but tend...
Part of your review is kindly and well-intentioned, I'm sure, and I'm grateful that you recognized the book's anger. I am sorry you find that anger only partially effective, since it could mean other readers will react in kind. Let me assure you that The Caretakers is not so much fiction as fact, deplorable and appalling as this may sound, and that low-budget Canturbury is a typical national picture unfortunately...
Linda Baud avoided looking at Jaccoud during her four hours of purple testimony. The judge, studying the nude photos that Linda said had been taken at gun point, remarked that she seemed "perfectly tranquil and at ease." Conceded Linda: "Well, I didn't react." Did she consider the defendant capable of killing a human being? After some hesitation, Linda said, "I don't think so." Lawyer Floriot wrung from Linda the admission that she had taken a new lover since André, a young Belgian who worked for the Palais des Nations, and he left implicit the suggestion...
First Manhattan jeweler to react was Tiffany & Co. On New Year's Day, Tiffany informed readers in a two-column New York Times ad: "Description of the seller as 'an American jeweler of excellent reputation' has apparently raised the question in some people's minds whether this meant Tiffany & Co. The answer is: It was not Tiffany & Co." Last week, in identically worded ads that appeared side by side in the Times, Van Cleef & Arpels and Carter assured "our patrons and friends that we are not the jewelry concern in question." Black Starr & Gorham followed with...
...fuel is uranyl sulphate dissolved in heavy water (which does not absorb as many neutrons as ordinary water). When this solution is flowing in a small-bore pipe, it does not react, because the fissionable uranium atoms are too strung out to form a critical mass. But when the fuel solution flows into a spherical reaction chamber, the compact mass becomes critical. A nuclear chain reaction starts, and heats the solution. Before the reaction goes too far, the solution is sucked away by pumps and forced through a heat exchanger, where it heats ordinary water to produce high-pressure steam...
