Binder, an elderly man with a slow Southern drawl, told Dershowitz at one point that he had come only because he could "meet a person like you [Dershowitz] I've seen on the tube so much...
Even when the scarring is not severe enough to cause sterility, it can prove troublesome. It can cause a fertilized egg, normally implanted in the uterus, to become embedded and begin dividing in a fallopian tube, leading to a potentially life-threatening condition known as tubal or ectopic pregnancy. Since 1967 the incidence of ectopic pregnancy in the U.S. has tripled. According to Dr. King Holmes, chief of medicine at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, chlamydia may be a factor in at least one-quarter of the cases...

Photons (massless particles that transmit light) from an ancient galaxy may travel billions of light years through space before they speed down a telescope tube. But unless enough of them are collected, astronomers will not be able to see the galaxy's image. Gathering sufficient photons to register an image is accomplished by either taking long-exposure photographs or using a larger mirror system to collect the light. Many astronomical photographs already take hours to make...

A doctor holds aloft a test tube and announces, "I F D Q-R!" The whimsical drawings and ingenious punch lines are M-U-S-N from the beginning...
