...STOP signs at the corner of Plympton and Bow Streets. The tennis courts are in deplorable condition. The food, even in Adams and Dunster Houses, is wretched. Only one appointment has been made in the field of Geography. There are no permanent appointments in History and Lit. The water coming from both the hot and cold taps in Moors Hall is hot. Elsie's is too crowded. Animals still roam the streets of Cambridge. The "Flower Drum Song" is a hit. We do not yet have a winning football team. The parking regulations are arbirary and unjust. Moreover...
...Diego pump is radically different in many ways. Instead of being plugged into an electric outlet (an explosion hazard in the operating room), it gets its power from the pressure of tap water. This is converted by the reciprocating-engine principle into a pump action, giving pulsatile pressure in four Plexiglas chambers. In each of these is a rubber bladder corresponding to one of the heart's own chambers. The bladders are paired (like the auricles and ventricles) and they contract and expand in a rhythm like the heart's. In an additional chamber, corresponding to the lungs...
Probably it has no life at all. Dr. Kuiper thinks that it has no water or free oxygen. Radio waves, which penetrate the murky atmosphere, hint that the temperature of the invisible surface is something like 500° F., which is much too high for the earth's kinds of life. Venus rotates only once in several weeks, making the sunlit side much hotter than the dark side, and causing violent storms that sweep perpetually over its hot, dry deserts...
...Urey still thinks that the clouds in the Venusian atmosphere may be made of water droplets like clouds on earth, but few astronomers agree with him. Dr. Kuiper thinks they are made of fine dust particles of carbon suboxide (0302). In an attempt to prove this theory, he made a mixture of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide and exposed it to assorted radiation at the Argonne National Laboratory. Sure enough, carbon suboxide formed, and its molecules stuck together to make particles of yellowish polymer...
...most thunderous roar to come out of the West in recent years has been caused by Hollywood stars stampeding toward that newer, more refreshing substitute for the old water hole-the tax hole. As stars went into business for themselves or took percentages instead of salaries, Hollywood's finances have become more spectacular and complex than its love life...
