When the historians look back to these weeks, they may find that the worst error was Richard Nixon's. Right now, the egg is on Gerald Ford's face. But Nixon accepted the pardon that Ford offered. Once again Nixon has miscalculated almost everything and everybody. He has charted himself a course straight into the sloughs of history...
...invention of a skilled detective-story writer named Montague Small, who, to the extent that he is a friend of anything, is a friend of the family. Each week Small supplies Blaise with newly elaborated symptoms. Magnus has supposed himself, for instance, to be a large egg and, during another crisis, has imagined that he is stalked by a wooden-legged bishop...
...Newman's T advises: DRINK WET CEMENT . . . GET REALLY STONED. Indeed, with the likes of Joanne Woodward (wearing Husband Paul's face centered on her front), Yoko Ono, Carly Simon and an Alabama comedienne and L.A. talk-show regular who cottons to a replica of a fried egg on each well-poached breast, show-biz bashes these days seem mostly T parties...
Normally a woman of childbearing age ovulates once every lunar month, an average of 14 days before the expected onset of menstruation. Her ovaries then expel one or more egg cells, ripe for fertilization. An individual egg (ovum) is drawn into the fallopian tube (oviduct) to begin a four-day journey toward the uterus. After intercourse, the husband's spermatozoa swim upstream through the uterus into the fallopian tubes, and if one sperm succeeds in penetrating an ovum, conception has occurred. The conceptus, repeatedly doubling the number of its cells, enters the uterus and imbeds itself in the lining...
Common causes of infertility are blockage or surgical removal of the oviducts so that the egg cannot meet the sperm. Bevis and several other investigators on both sides of the Atlantic reasoned that this roadblock might be bypassed if: 1) ripe ova were removed through a small surgical incision in the abdomen, 2) one was fertilized by the husband's sperm (obtained by masturbation), 3) the conceptus was kept alive and subdividing in glassware for a few days, and finally 4) it was implanted in the wife's uterus. Bevis succeeded in keeping the conceptus alive in what...
