...from it. But in the case of some viruses, the effect may be to bare the virus particle's nucleic acid and leave it free to infect the cell. Moreover, as New York University's Dr. Gerald Weissmann reported in Michigan, some virus particles can survive a spell in a digestive sac, and emerge from it with their infective powers intact. By another mechanism, lysosomes can be directly harmful: they may, for reasons not yet guessed at, attack part of their own cell's natural contents, and destroy...
...Nasser at a four-hour "working dinner," at which he mostly listened. He accomplished little, and returned a day earlier than planned to the U.N., where he handed the Security Council an unremarkable six-page report suggesting that the only way out of the crisis might be "a breathing spell which will allow tension to subside."

It seemed impossible to cope with the fact that one Teaching Fellow may be better prepared for assisting in a course than another, or that one Teaching Fellow for his own academic interests deliberately wants to spend more time on a course than another, or that...
