...frontier in economics. Heller points to a new concept, with "vast implications for public policy," that came into economics within the past two years: the idea that "human capital" (knowledge, skills, invention) contributes more to economic growth than "tangible capital" (factories, machinery). This notion might be suspect as a liberal rationalization for federal aid to education, except that the pioneering statistical studies on the economic value of human capital were carried out at conservative Arthur Burns's National Bureau of Economic Research and at the University of Chicago, the U.S.'s No. 1 stronghold of conservative economics.

...Soviet police as either numskulls or brutes. Two unlovely types are the Cheka plainclothesmen: Boiko, with his dimples and "effeminate, rosy cheeks," and Khizhnak, who has a knife scar running from ear to chin and has been known, during an "interrogation." to gouge out the eye of a suspect.

Unfortunately, even the slapstick often lost effect because it lacked the one vital element...
...crystalline alcohol. Scientists assume that cholesterol (from the Greek chole, meaning bile, and stereos, meaning solid) is somehow necessary for the formation of brain cells, since it accounts for about 2% of the brain's total solid weight. They know it is the chief ingredient in gallstones. They suspect it plays a role in the production of adrenal hormones, and they believe it is essential to the transport of fats throughout the circulatory system. But they cannot fully explain the process of its manufacture by the human liver. Although the fatty protein molecules, carried in the blood and partly...
