...estimate that the bombing is now cutting off 30% of the supplies headed for South Viet Nam and 10-20% of the men who try to in filtrate from the North. Moreover, the daily devastation is being wrought at a diminishing price. When the U.S. began bombing the North, Ho's 7,000 antiaircraft guns and several dozen SAM missile sites brought the attrition rate of planes downed per mission...
Manhattan's sidewalk spectators are getting to be fairly ho-hum about movies shot on location, but this one was a real buzzer. Star of the film was Mia Farrow, 22, whose mob quotient has gone up considerably since she married Whosis, and furthermore didn't she seem to be-giggle blush-just a teensy bit preggers? Yes she did, and in no mood to dillydally about it, either. One day she was barely bulgy, the next she seemed six months along, and within a week she was 14 months pregnant. By this time even the most motherly...
Working with bits of bone, fossilized impressions in stone and educated intuition, scientists have cleverly deduced the appearance, weight, speed and even habits of animals that have long been extinct. Now, University of Arizona Paleontologist-Biochemist Tong-yun Ho has gained an unexpected new insight into the metabolism of many of these extinct animals. He has learned to take their temperature...
Paleontologist Ho depends on neither time travel nor thermometers for measuring ancient body temperatures. Instead, he works with collagen, a protein found in human and animal connective tissue and skeletal structures. Aware that the proportion of an imino acid, hydroxyproline, is lower in the collagen of cold-water fish than in fish that swim in warmer waters, Ho reasoned that the composition of collagen in warm-blooded animals might vary with their body temperatures...
Searching through biological literature, Ho recorded the imino-acid content of the collagen from a variety of animals, ranging from man to whales, and compared it with their normal temperatures. There was an unmistakable and direct relationship. With the increase of each degree in body temperature, he discovered, there was a specific increase in the proportions of imino acids in collagen...
