Fascinated by the dormant seed, botanists have long been frustrated in their efforts to see or photograph it clearly. Preparing slides for microscopic inspection usually necessitated the use of liquid solutions that immediately revived anabiotic cells, altering the dormant structures. Now, because of the perseverance of German Botanist Ernst Perner, several theories about anabiosis have finally been confirmed. By using dry osmic-acid vapors to fix and stain his slides, Perner has successfully photographed anabiotic pea cells with an electron microscope...
...Jean Paul Belmondo seems to see the ludicrous futility in it all--he looks as if he were going to wink at any moment. Leslie Caron perfects her crying technique, the one where she ever so emotionally quivers her upper lip over those embarrassing buck teeth and turns bravely liquid. Alain Delon's limp wrist isn't quite that of an underground leader and Kirk Douglas's General Patton is something to behold. About the only activity for the audience (aside from falling asleep) is identifying the innumerable faces that appear in cameo roles throughout the film, but perhaps most...
...Nearly all of their important body functions-from thinking to urinating-were monitored through sensors attached to their bodies, recorded on instruments in the spacecraft, or relayed to Houston where batteries of doctors pored over telemetered data. Each man was required to bag and date his own solid and liquid wastes, to be turned over to doctors at flight's end. For want of a more descriptive term, Borman and Lovell described their extended mission in the cramped capsule as "two weeks in a men's room...
Clorox v. Purex. The FTC case arose from P. &G.'s acquisition in 1957 of Clorox Chemical Co., which held 49% of the market for liquid household bleaches. Second-place Purex Corp., which had 16% of the market, had managed by heavy promotion to boost its share in several areas, including the Erie, Pa., market, where it had captured 33%. Clorox, now backed by P. & G.'s marketing know-how and money, did not let the gains go unchallenged. It blanketed the areas with ads, offered $1 ironing-board covers for 50? and cut the price of Clorox...
...silt surface of Anchorage during the past two summers, Kerr studied an underlying layer of quick clay from 10 to 30 ft. thick. During the three minutes of the quake's violent up-and-down jolting, he concluded, some of the quick clay under Anchorage turned into liquid, triggering the damaging landslides that literally floated large sections of land to new locations...
