...maned aristocrat who, like a fictional intellectual once described by Novelist Aldous Huxley, resembles "an extinct saurian." Russell is a brooding, old-fashioned agnostic who for most of his life has been torn between his view that the human race is irredeemably wicked and his conviction that he can save it. At one time he was so critical of Communism that Soviet propaganda labeled him "a philosophizing wolf." As late as 1948 he declared that "anything is better than submission" to Communist dictatorship, even advocated dropping nuclear bombs on the Soviet Union if it refused international control of the atom...
...Arizona is one of the few states that have no medical school, Phoenix seemed an unlikely place to start a neurological institute. But to Neurosurgeon Green, 47, it seemed ridiculous to wait for one to burgeon and bloom like a century plant. He longed for a local institute to save patients from having to travel hundreds or thousands of miles...
...navy on one hand and the spirit of mutiny sapped it on the other. His shipmates are a sorry, ragtag lot, full of hate and fear for the sadistic master-at-arms, Mister Claggart. They find in Billy Budd's artless warmth a hope that somehow he can save them from Claggart's bullying; even the Avenger's aloof Captain Vere takes a liking to the pure-minded...
...Zorin. I can assure you that we can direct them to the proper places very quickly. We know the facts. Mr. Zorin, and so do you, and we are ready to talk about them. Our job here is not to score debating points: our job, Mr. Zorin, is to save the peace. If you are ready...
There are two types of transistorized systems. The simplest send only a small current through the breaker points, thus saving wear. The small pulsating current from the points triggers a transistor system that in turn controls the high current needed by the coil. Manufacturers claim that such systems save fuel, give more fire power, make both points and plugs work indefinitely at top efficiency at any speed. An even more rewarding system produced by New Jersey's Motion Inc. includes a capacitor that is charged by the high-tension current that is normally fed directly from coil to spark...
