...Treatment. "In the U.S.," says Soviet Health Minister Boris Petrovsky, "a patient usually goes to see his doctor only in case of great need. In the Soviet Union, we welcome a patient when he comes to his polyclinic with the earliest possible signs of illness." The welcome can be warmer than the treatment.

...multitude of tiny flat crystals suspended in the liquid reflect light. Thus when the Kalliroscope is held in the palm of a hand, or under a bulb, or near any source of heat or cold, it produces a demonstration of convection currents appropriate for a Physics I classroom: warmer liquid rises while cooler liquid descends, forming currents that rearrange the light-reflecting crystals into ever-moving patterns. A mere change in position sets a small Kalliroscope (3 in. by 5 in., $15) in motion; larger models (5 in. by 7 in., $50) are electrically heated and kept in constant agitation...

When she first appears before the King she does not curtsy but instead prostrates herself for an unconscionable length of time before the throne. Shaw would not have liked that. Coleridge proclaimed that Helena is Shakespeare's "loveliest character...
