Characteristically, the style is staccato, bone-bare, oracular and dull. The format is uninviting; usually four letterhead-size pages printed to look as if they had come fresh from a typewriter. The contents often suggest the confidential whisper of a race-track tout. The cost can be incredibly high: as much as $125 a year for some 3,000 words a week-an annual total well below the word count in one average issue of the New York Times (185,000). Yet so insatiable is the public appetite for inside dope that in the few decades since its birth...
...Henry Moore, but the chief similarity is that both men find their basic inspiration in the human body. Even when Heiliger is at his most abstract, his work gives a strong sense of life. His heads are not only striking portraits, but pieces of humanity stripped to the bone. Some of his torsos give the eerie impression that they are just being born. In his group sculptures he is able to play off his figures in such a way that they all seem to be engaged in some imperceptible dance, weaving around each other in ever changing relationships...
...practical use of 5-fluorouracil is by no means so simple as the theory. There are other body cells that multiply about as fast as cancer cells, and therefore need a lot of uracil, notably those in the bone marrow, which makes blood cells, and those in the lining of the digestive tract. Soon after 5-fluorouracil has attacked the cancer, it damages these vital, normal cells. Patients begin to suffer from vomiting. At the first sign of inflammation and ulceration in the mouth, doctors stop the drug. Usually they try to give heavy doses (injected into an arm vein...

X-rays reveal a bone-chip, but it may be a former injury, it may be aggravation of a former injury, or it may be new. In any event, it is painful enough to prevent the powerful halfback from unleashing his full kick...
...believes that imposing form on the unknown is not only the point of education but also the most efficient way of learning. "The process and the goal of education are one and the same thing," says Bruner. This kind of learning shuns external pressures, such as being forced to bone up on unrelated facts. The discovery of relationships becomes a game in which success or failure is simply a matter of being on the right or wrong track. And the child best remembers what he him self discovered. Such ideas led Bruner to theorize that "any subject can be taught...
