...impurity get into the glucose? Best guess of the Cutter Laboratories: the bottles were jarred in shipment and their rubber stoppers loosened. When the vacuum was broken, air rushed in and bacteria formed a poisonous mold that grew readily in the glucose. Laboratory technicians pointed out that all boxes of glucose they ship contain this warning to doctors: make sure that the vacuum has not been broken, and beware of cloudiness, a sign of contamination...
...fall of 1940, he talked with Hitler for nine hours in the Führer's private car, "each entranced talker explaining himself in heedless stretches, recognizing no interruption or answer." Hitler thought he had sealed a pact; Feis shows that Franco had come to "seal a vacuum."

Even little whirlwinds can vacuum-clean the surface of a pond and deposit its green scum many miles away as discolored rain. Sometimes small fish or frogs are sucked up (and later dropped) with the water...
