Because surgery to remove venom sacs is so difficult, commercial producers of immunizing extracts prefer to grind up the whole insects and make them into an injectable preparation. (In this method, one school argues, there may be a danger of sensitizing a subject to allergy-causing proteins from other parts of the insect's body.) At the Hollister-Stier Laboratories in Spokane, Bacteriologist Edward L. Foubert Jr. has concluded that only a few species of Hymenoptera are important stingers in any one area, and that since most victims do not know just which varieties have stung them...
...anti-idealistic, un-Christian and interrogatory: "If Christ is not the very meaning of the world, then the body of an executed felon by the roadside is more significant than a crucifix . . .

...season, and certainly Waugh's strangest, gains much of its quality from Waugh's rare knack of creating character and situation with the flick of a few words of dialogue. His ability to give airy nothings a local habitation and a name is untouched by the delusory subject matter. There is reality amid the hallucinations. Many standard Waugh phobias, e.g., journalists, book reviewers, evangelical clergymen, may be identified. In a prefatory note, the publishers state: "Three years ago Mr. Waugh suffered a brief bout of hallucination closely resembling what is here described . . . Mr. Waugh does not deny that...
