Perhaps, though, it is appropriate that the audience’s lasting impressions are of Ba’al alone. Indeed, the outer, physical world dissipates, leaving only the vestiges of Ba’al’s inner struggle...
...first time at NIAID, may be able to thwart this evasive action. Known as "prime-boost," it gives the immune system a whiff of the virus' scent before hitting it with the actual vaccine. In Nabel's lab, that whiff consists of a snippet of DNA from HIV's outer coating--not enough to trigger a full immune response but, as his work was the first to show in animals, enough to put the system on alert. In the past this strategy hasn't worked in humans because our immune system, unlike those of other mammals, doesn't respond robustly...

Maybe she was a blond pudge like Pamela Anderson. Getting tumbled in a wave of neo-Platonic fantasizing about how outer shape mirrors inner essence--"For Soule is Forme, and doth the Bodie make," wrote the poet Spenser in 1596--may be great for the figure and complexion when court painters like Botticelli and writers like Marsilio Ficino or Angelo Poliziano are watching, but it's not so good for documentary truth...
