...Yale lab technician, Juan Roman, was less fortunate. He had not worked directly with the Lassa serums or infected mice, so when he visited relatives in York, Pa., over Thanksgiving and fell ill, no one suspected the mystery virus. Roman died. Later, when his serum revealed that he had somehow been infected with the dread fever...
Even in his own day, Bruegel must have been considered a superb technician, capable of representing anything. Foreground details exist down to the last bramble on a bush, while in the distance a minuscule brush stroke may distinctly show a man walking or working underneath a tree. Bruegel began with ships' timbers of seasoned oak. He set the planks edge to edge, smoothed them, and then brushed on a white gesso base. He drew his composition on the gesso in gray chalk.

Yet he is personally popular with newsmen, who consider him a decent fellow in difficult circumstances. As a technician in planning the care and feeding of reporters on presidential trips, Ziegler is rated four stars. The smallest details-down to what sort of wardrobe is necessary-are handled with the smoothness that characterized the Nixon campaign...
