...exciting period, an important period in American intelligence. It is a period when we are, in effect, evolving a new, uniquely American model of intelligence: one tailored to the values and the standards of our society, and yet one also designed to ensure that we can remain what we are today--the number one intelligence service in the world...

Morphine acts to relieve pain by filling the remaining sites. But too much morphine overloads the system, causing enkephalin production to be cut off. More morphine is needed to fill the receptors and produce relief. If the narcotic is then withheld, all the receptors remain empty, resulting in typical withdrawal symptoms. With this knowledge, researchers hope to design nonaddictive pain relievers...

...give up looking for any idea behind a Gilbert and Sullivan performance, you can only hope that there will be individual singers good enough to hold the show together. The Loeb cast is near-perfect--the overall quality of singing is strikingly high--even better, the cast and chorus remain completely intelligible throughout the evening. This is the best insurance possible for a G & S show; as long as Gilbert's words come through, laughs will follow...
