...1940s, however, the molecular biologists had come on the scene, and they insisted that fundamental life processes could be fully understood only on the molecular level. In their investigations, some used the electron microscope, which revealed details of structure invisible to ordinary optical instruments. Others specialized in X-ray crystallography, a technique for deducing a crystallized molecule's structure by taking X-ray photographs of it from different angles. Physicist Max Delbrück turned to nature for his investigative tools: bacteriophages (literally, "bacteria eaters"), tiny parasitic viruses that invade their host bacteria and rob them of their genetic heritage...
...Johnston, admittedly, did get a couple sound players in return, and if the B's coach can play Merlin and pull a strategem out of his sleeve, the Bruins may become the most potent weapon since Ray Milland in "The Man with the X-Ray Vision...
...Zappa (after Bob Krasnow and Blue Thumb records overproduced and cheated Beefheart) famous for Doug Moon's delta blues pickin' and Beefheart's singin' on "China Pig," they played "Big Joan Sets Up," a new version, "My Human Get's Me Blues" ("I saw you baby dancing in yer x-ray gingham dress.

Unfortunately, second aid is often lacking. A few areas, like Vermont's Mount Snow, maintain well-equipped mini-hospitals at the foot of their lift lines, where doctors can X-ray and set simple fractures. But all too often good treatment stops at the bottom of a run, and injured skiers must either gamble on local physicians or limp to a distant city hospital. A Manhattan woman nearly lost the use of one leg after a Vermont hospital botched a simple break. A New York orthopedist later saved the leg with a complex operation, but only this month...
