...bleak cell at a Tokyo juvenile detention home one night last week, a mop-haired teenager mixed a palmful of tooth powder with a few drops of water and scrawled a message on the wall: "Seven lives for my country. Ten thousand years for His Imperial Majesty, the Emperor!'' Then Otoya Yamaguchi, 17, tore his bed sheet into strips, knotted them into a rope, stood up on a toilet bowl and hanged himself from the light fixture in the ceiling. Yamaguchi, who last month stabbed Socialist Chairman Inejiro Asanuma to death at a political rally, had lived...
That first debate . . . Certainly we Americans can see through either thick pancake or thin powder! Nixon whipped Kennedy badly...
...stage in various roles and improvise, who glance at the life all around them and criticize, spend a great deal of their time being funny. By the end of the evening they have left tooth marks on much that is fatuous, wasp stings in much that is vulgar, powder burns on a lot that is neurotic or just human.

...what does the patient get? Dr. Durovic says he brought less than a -teaspoonful-two grams-of the whitish powder from Argentina. This would mean that" it" had been extracted from 2,000 horses (costly, because the horses are killed in the process), as Durovic says he gets only about one milligram per horse. And the human dose of Krebiozen is so fantastically minute-only 1/100 of a milligram-that two grams would be enough for 200,000 doses. Durovic has recently announced making his first U.S. batch of 200 mg. from 200 horses...
...into horses a preparation of killed and sterilized fungi,* waiting for the horses' systems to react, then bleeding them and extracting Krebiozen from their blood serum by a highly involved process. He has duplicated the process and has a vial containing a few milligrams of an off-white powder which he believes is identical with Durovic's Krebiozen. Ivy has also worked on Krebiozen's chemistry. It is, he declares, a "tissue hormone" secreted by the RES cells. If Krebiozen is indeed a tissue hormone, he has a better chance of getting it licensed...
