...Minnesota, Dr. Calvin has long since earned the title: "Mr. Photosynthesis." Shortly after World War II, he began to use radioactive tracers, particularly carbon 14, and other recently developed tools to find out what happens to carbon dioxide when it tangles with chlorophyll in a living green plant cell. Step by painful step, Calvin and his large group of helpers followed CO 2 , tagged with carbon 14, through the intricate photosynthetic processes that start when green leaves are exposed to sunlight. But the greatest insight came to Chemist Calvin one day while he was in his car waiting...
...place; to a wildly unhistorical subplot that exaggerates Barabbas (vaguely identified by the Bible as an insurrectionist) into a sort of George Washington of the Jews, and makes Judas merely a bewildered Benedict Arnold; to a number of incidents in the life of Christ -among them a dramatic death-cell confrontation with John the Baptist-that are nowhere sanctioned by scripture and invariably ring false...
...critical balance is controlled by many automatic mechanisms in the heart, kidneys, the nervous system, the adrenal and sex glands. What concerns the surgeon is what happens, either before surgery or because of surgery, when the balance is upset.

A squad of physicians was summoned, Menderes' stomach was pumped and the contents flown to Istanbul by helicopter for analysis. Newsmen were invited to view Menderes-lying on a small iron cot in blue pajamas with a feeding tube up his nose-to scotch any speculation about mistreatment. Istanbul's medical report indicated an overdose of sleeping pills. Menderes, who had complained of insomnia, had been given pills by prison...
...widely spaced visits with Cornish neighbors. Occasionally he was seen at work in the nearby Dartmouth library, wearing, as a friend described it at the time, a checked wool shirt and "Genghis Khan beard." His working habits have not changed: Salinger takes a packed lunch to his cement-block cell, and works from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. He can be reached there by phone?but. says a relative, "the house had damn well better be burning down." When he is not working, Salinger watches TV as avidly as any Fat Lady...
