...this time his purpose was strictly scientific. After returning to work, Rousseau wrung out his sweaty T shirt, collected the perspiration in a flask, evaporated it to a gummy residue, and then carefully analyzed it with an infra-red spectrometer. He found exactly what he was looking for: his sweat exhibited spectral characteristics similar to those of the mysterious and highly controversial substance called polywater...
Vodka Glass. How could so skilled a chemist have allowed sweat to contaminate his equipment? The explanation is simple, says Purdue University Chemist Robert Davis, who collaborated with Rousseau and confirmed his conclusions with other analytic techniques. Every person is surrounded by an invisible cloud of organic salts that have evaporated from the skin and been expelled from the lungs; these tiny pollutants may well be absorbed by the porous glass of laboratory beakers and flasks. Thus polywater-which is made by letting steam condense inside hair-thin glass tubes-could pick up impurities even in the hands...
...strange properties after the contaminants have been removed. Deryagin and his supporters will have a hard time proving their case until more polywater exists. Currently, the total amount available from all the world's labs would hardly fill a vodka glass. Davis, for one, doubts whether anyone should sweat over the problem any longer. "American scientists have been wasting their time studying this subject," he wrote in Chemical & Engineering News, "unless, of course, it can be defined as a topic of water pollution and waste disposal...
This season as the two lone strikers on the Harvard 4-4-2, Gomez and Thomas were expected to be slightly less volatile. But against Lindenhurst the strikers combined for three goals before the Long Island team had even worked up a sweat...
Soon the mixing machine starts throwing around the numbered ping pong balls, which are picked out one by one by Jack, the caller. The sweat is rolling out of Helen's sleeveless dress and down her arm. She's oblivious; all she reacts to are the numbers...
