First Donovan and his six associates spent nearly three weeks X-raying Enrique and subjecting him to a battery of tissue and blood tests in order to determine the deformity's extent. X-ray examinations showed that the incomplete twin consisted of a second pelvis fused to the front of Enrique's own pelvis, plus a partial extra bladder. The pictures also disclosed that the growth was not connected to Enrique's spine or nervous system; indeed, Enrique had never been known to move or show feeling in the appendage, though it made up one-quarter...
...reason to be pleased. Six months after its landing, the eight-wheeled moon rover, Lunokhod I, was still continuing its lunar explorations, digging up soil samples with a conical drill and analyzing them with on-board instruments. It was also photographing the moonscape and scanning the heavens with an X-ray telescope that has already detected at least two sources of X-ray emissions in distant space. So overjoyed were the Russians by Lunokhod's performance that Pravda was moved to proletarian metaphor and compared the little vehicle to a faithful "workhorse that toiled from dawn till sunset...
...X-Ray Movies. No one, however, did more to advance the cause of cardiac revascularization than Dr. F. Mason Sones Jr., a Cleveland cardiologist who in 1958 developed a method of mapping the cardiovascular system. Known by the jawbreaking name of cine coronary angiography, Sones' technique involved inserting a catheter, or thin piece of tubing, into an arm artery, guiding it up through the aorta and then squirting a radiopaque dye through it directly into the coronary arteries. The dye, which showed up clearly on motion picture X rays, made it possible for physicians to see with 90% accuracy...
...structure: the bickering, the academic rivalries, even the deceits that were practiced to win the great prize. Out of Pauling's earlier work, Watson and Crick got the idea that the extremely long and complicated DNA molecule might take the shape of a helix, or spiral. From the X-ray crystallography laboratory at King's College in London, where Biochemist Maurice Wilkins was also investigating the molecule's structure, they quietly obtained unpublished X-ray data on DNA. Relying as much on luck as logic, they constructed Tinkertoy-like molecular models out of wire and other metal parts. To everyone...
...Angeles doctor takes old X-ray pictures, adds a little yarn edging and creates startling place mats. In Research Engineer Peter Gottlieb's West Los Angeles home, one child sleeps happily beneath a headboard made of bright cartons of Screaming Yellow Zonkers, a beloved popcorn product. Or consider Dr. Richard Gieser's sparkling decor in Wheaton, Ill.: his sofa is an old bathtub on legs, with one side cut away, lined with pillows. His favorite chair is another tub, upended. It has, Mrs. Gieser says, "a nestlike quality...
