Enzyme Heip. About 50% of all gas victims suffer from either excessive or inadequate motility in the bowel. Lessened muscular activity is more likely to occur in elderly patients, whose food passes normally as far as the end of the small bowel, but then slows down in the flabby large bowel. The remedy in most of these cases, said Dr. Danhof, is bethanechol chloride, sold as Myocholine and Urecholine, to improve the bowel's muscle tone. In the overactive bowel, commonly associated with nervous conditions, frothing or foaming may occur. A useful remedy: dimethylpolysiloxane with pepsin (trade name: Phazyme...
Whether or not film makers want to tell a story, they no longer need adhere to the convention that a movie should have a beginning, middle and end. Chronological sequence is not so much a necessity as a luxury. The slow, logical flashback has given way to the abrupt shift in scene. Time can be jumbled on the screen-its foreground and background as mixed as they are in the human mind.

The police arrange the ambush; and in what may be the most remarkable use of slow motion in cinema history, the bodies of Bonnie and Clyde writhe to earth in a quarter-time choreography of death...
...Haydn was more than a musical wag. Sharing the spirit of the Sturm und Drang poets of the time (among them Schiller and Lessing), he made his instruments weep and rant as well.

To initiate the finale of the Sinfonia Concertante, four solo instruments conduct a nonverbal argument...
...several different angles, to produce several different, all satisfactory, shipboard abstractions. The rectangular frames successively form bunks, jail cells, and simple platforms. The computer also had a good color sense in plotting an orange-on-black effect that neatly relates one scene to the next. The scene changes are slow, but the masking music makes them happily bearable...
