...hawsers. Two men in a rowboat fished the light lines out, rowed them to the Cunard pier. Soon rhythmically functioning stevedore crews had the ship's main hawsers fast.

...June 4, Dr. Kleitman and Graduate Student Bruce Richardson entered Kentucky's Mammoth Cave, took up residence in a snug cavern 119 feet underground where for them day and night on the surface had no meaning. There they lived a 28-hour cycle, sleeping nine hours each 28-hour "day." There were only six of their long days in a calendar week. They had a regular routine of eating, sleeping, reading, writing, walking...
