...cell-society that Deathwatch portrays, the leading position among the three isolated cellmates is held by the murderer Green Eyes. He can control the other two by physical force; and the vague but dense tissue of hints toward homosexual relationships which is woven in the dialogue, indicates that they are rivals for him. Much is made of the fact that the guard is his friend (strange, that these avowed criminals should value so highly the favor of the only non-criminal character in the play). This guard brings him cigarettes in token of amity from Snowball, a savage Negro convict...
...trail like a runaway milkwagon horse. Among the casualties: the British Labor Party (which Young served as research secretary from 1945-51); the commissar's cast of mind that sees education solely as a means for national advancement; the sociologist's view of the individual as a cell that lives for the benefit of the organism, society; and the psychologist's notion that intelligence and aspiration can be measured like prize trout...
From Mary's 104° fever and other signs, Field Physician Garfield Fred Burkhardt suspected meningitis, probably tuberculous-a disease that was invariably fatal until twelve years ago. He plunged a needle into her back and tapped the spinal fluid. Its high cell content buttressed his fears. While Navajo Nelson Bennett worked the field radio to alert the Navajo medical center at Fort Defiance for an emergency admission, Dr. Burkhardt gave Mary Grey-Eyes a massive penicillin injection. This would combat the infection if pneumococci, rather than tubercle bacilli, were the cause...
...involved in its origin. Then a young (31) researcher just starting in at Manhattan's Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, went to work on a sick Plymouth Rock hen. He took material from a tumor on the bird's breast, ground it ultrafine to smash the very cells, filtered the stuff through silica so that not even a broken cell could pass, and injected the liquid into healthy chickens. They soon developed cancers of the same type (sarcoma) as the original...
...layman's idea that because an automobile tire or piston wears out, so eventually must human organs, is only half true. In the youthful, still growing organism, cells divide rapidly, and all the components of the body (except nerve cells) are not only quickly added to, but also constantly replaced at the most intimate molecular level. This process does not stop with maturity; it goes on until death. But there is evidence that the rate of cell and tissue replacement slows down, until- perhaps at different times in dif ferent tissues - it is markedly less than the rate...
