Ever since he was spirited out of Argentina nine months ago, Eichmann has been confined in a heavily guarded cell at an undisclosed location. He wears Israeli army-style khaki trousers, shirt and pullover and when not consulting with his lawyers, keeps busy boning up on standard works dealing with the Nazi persecution of the Jews. His German-born lawyers, Robert Servatius and Dieter Wechtenbruch, meet with him for six hours a day in a windowless room bisected by a glass wall. Lawyers and client have to communicate via earphones and microphones. The lawyers show Eichmann documents and letters from...
...French microscope at the Toulouse Electron Optics Laboratory is housed in a shining aluminum sphere 78 ft. in diameter. Professor Gaston Dupouy, head of the laboratory and the microscope's chief operator, explains that he protects bacteria by enclosing them in a tiny air-filled cell that fits on the microscope's stage. The cell has two windows, one on the top, the other on the bottom, which are covered with collodion film less than four-millionths of an inch thick. The windows are so small (four-thousandths of an inch in diameter) that this gossamer stuff...
Memory is thus the imprinting of a code on RNA molecules in millions of cells, like punch holes in a set of IBM cards. For example, an impulse caused by the ear's hearing "concert A" scurries from cell to cell until it finds those containing RNA molecules already keyed to respond to that note, and it is this chemical response that constitutes recognition of the note. The average human brain has ten billion neurons, so the number of possible permutations is astronomical. Further, said Dr. Hyden, this theory explains why neurologists have been unable to find precise centers...
...waiting at her parents' home in Plainfield, N.J. It was hard to maintain her husband's faith that everything would work out, that they would be back together soon. The details of Bruce Olmstead's confinement were not encouraging: "I am kept alone in a cell but am not being abused." Prison, he wrote, "has pretty well shown me that I couldn't quite make it as a cloistered monk. I am given cigarettes, hon, and filters at that. But, oh my, how I long for a good old American cigarette . . . And I must confess that...
...Northeast and Midwest pile into anything that holds gas and roar south. In recent years, more than 20,000 of these "migratory shirkers" have settled for the two-week season in Fort Lauderdale, and there the camera finds them-soaking up sun and beer, sleeping twelve to a motel cell or two to a car trunk, and assiduously playing the great American game of "separating the girls from the Girl Scouts...
