...villa, a vast copper cauldron was kept at the boil; there he melted down human and animal corpses to get fresh skeletons for his grisly pathological museum of pickled fetuses, stuffed one-eyed pigs and cock-plumed hens. There may have been, as his contemporaries thought, more madness than method in his research, but dour John Hunter (1728-93) as much as any man helped turn surgery and pathology into sciences...
Kill, If Necessary. Bergman scorns "The Method" of coddling the actor's ego; instead, he hard-boils it. Once the day's work has begun, no performer may leave the set, not even to make a phone call. Not the slightest deviation from script is permitted. Björnstrand once begged Bergman to rewrite a line. "I can't interpret it," he protested. Bergman replied coldly, "It's your job to interpret it." No stand-ins are used, even when the action is dangerous. Moreover, Bergman permits no lengthy psychoanalytic discussions of motive; usually, he feels...
Writing Precisely. This instruction is only part of Teacher De Long's course, which covers all the conventional ground of high school English. But it goes to the heart of her method: making students realize the power of words, and their own potential power over them.

Although a critic has said that "he looks like everybody's son-in-law, very sincere and stunningly good at nothing," a typical fan letter from Utica, N.Y. said: "Hugh Downs is what we older women think of as the ideal American...
...ship has neither a bow nor a stern, it is certainly not a ship. But it is a nifty little method of getting the benefits of U.S.-built ships without the high cost. On order last week from the Hamburg yards of German Shipbuilder Willy Schlieker (TIME, Oct. 26) were the midsections of six vessels for Mobile's McLean Industries, Inc. With a booming business carrying highway trailer vans by sea, McLean decided to add six new vessels, each with a capacity of 476 vans, to his fleet of trailer ships. The problem was that if the vessels were...
