ROGER WILLIAMS: ROGER! (Kapp). There are times when Roger seems possessed of 20 trigger-happy fingers as he ripples through the Beatles' And I Love Her or the theme from The Sand Pebbles.

In humans, animal collagen almost certainly would trigger inflammatory reactions and rejection mechanisms. Now, through the unlikely partnership of a Japanese shoe-leather company, which was making sausage casings on the side, and the Rogosin Laboratories of the New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center, it looks as though animal collagen may yet become the ideal material for many medical uses...
