...Crowther, an English-born U.S. citizen, was just a campus chaplain, but a fast rise in the Anglican hierarchy has made him Bishop of Kimberley and Kuruman and, at 36, the church's youngest bishop. His office in Kimberley has a picture of Martin Luther King on the wall, but Crowther has not until now been belligerent about apartheid...
...anabiosis into physiologically inactive crystals-a structure that scientists had suspected but never observed. Other photographs reveal the protective shift of tiny sacs of fluid called vacuoles, which are distributed through the cytoplasm of a young, active cell. During anabiosis, they line up in rows against the inner cell wall, probably to strengthen and insulate it against long periods of heat or cold, and to facilitate the rapid absorption of water when it becomes available...
Three-Ply Wall. Since it is impossible to observe such a process in living man, the investigators had to reconstruct their evidence from the dead. Cardiologist Meyer Friedman and Dutch-born Physiologist G. J. Van den Bovenkamp of the Harold Brunn Institute at Mount Zion Medical Center persuaded pathologists in hospitals near San Francisco to send them the occluded segment of coronary artery from each heart-attack victim on whom they had performed an autopsy. The two researchers sliced the coronary specimens crosswise, and after examining countless paper-thin specimens under the microscope, worked out the sequence of a typical...
...laying down of the familiar chalky and fatty material, largely cholesterol, inside the artery (see diagram). Then, by processes not yet understood, an "abscess" forms either within the artery's innermost layer (intima) or between the intima and the middle layer (media) of the three-ply artery wall. But this is no ordinary abscess, filled with pus. It is a special, possibly unique type, containing the debris of broken-down cells from the blood and the artery walls, a fatty paste, crystals of cholesterol, and calcium...
...York transit strike made it difficult for brokers to get to lower Manhattan offices. But for anyone who reached Wall Street, the walk was worth it. In the past 69 years, the market has risen 43 times in January, to the point that the upsurge has become a post-Christmas tradition. But never has there been anything like last week. Day after day, the Dow-Jones industrial average broke its own alltime records. At week's end the average had reached 986.13, less than 14 points from the 1000 mark that the Street considers a mystical number. Even though...
