...molecule that is growing, or adding units to its chain, can stop and pass its growing power on to another. Industrial researchers are using Flory's discoveries to develop fibers that may prove to have three times the strength of nylon but only a fraction of its weight. Flory, at Stanford since 1961, is currently studying the polymers in living organisms. Because skin, bone and muscle fibers are made up of long-chain molecules, his work could conceivably lead to the day when man will be able to simulate them in laboratories...
...dozens of times and spotted that cookie jar shaped like a pumpkin. The stagehands keep it filled with real junk food - Oreos, Lorna Doones, the kind of crap that Wasp mothers keep on hand for kiddie snacks. Mary with her dia betes and me with my weight problems, we used to love to open that jar and just sniff the sugary smell. We'd say, 'Oh, wow!' then put the lid back on. So that's what I did. I took a sniff, put the lid back on and had a good nostalgic...
After long seasons of Big Rhoda jokes, the star finally put her weight -and her foot-down. Viewers had long suspected that underneath the avoirdupois there was a slim beauty screaming to get out. Now she emerged funnier than ever-and too big to stay put. Thus Rhoda was born...
...achieve his goal of "a 40% increase in gasoline mileage" within a five-year deadline. That goal is possible, Detroit believes, only if the 1975 emission standards are not made any tougher (they are scheduled to become progressively more stringent in 1977 and 1978)-and if no new weight-adding safety standards (like stronger bumpers and side panels) are imposed. But Congress has shown no sign to date of being ready to ease the standards...
...inevitable that a film like Antonia will be asked to carry more weight than just its immediate subject. Brico is only one in a generation of women who have paid with their lives for a key their daughters may yet live to use. Since most of us lack the means to repay that generational debt, films like Antonia must do it for us. But Collins and Godmilow avoid the temptation to use the film as a political vehicle. It is, from beginning to end, a study of the life and work of one woman, on whom the eye is trained...
