As little as one-tenth of an ounce of paraquat can kill humans who swallow it. Lesser amounts can cause scarring of the lungs, which can lead to an irreversible condition called pulmonary fibrosis.

Before this he spoke often of his own social isolation and of the leftist's need to "redeem their crimes with suffering...
...Fractions," luxuriates in interaction of weight and air in a velvet-soft ballon. A girl in pale green dips and winds through a solo of airy spirals, one leg curling repeatedly knee-first across her body, bobbing down and swinging out; dancers flicker through space in springboard leaps and swallow swoops; a man and a woman move in an effortless duet, their legs and arms unfurling like a sea-plant swayed by the current...
