...orange toward the emergency exit at the rear, which she usually manages to hit. When she is not along, Reagan takes over the routine and converts it into an act. Sometimes he is a bowler, sometimes a football player, frequently a pitcher squinting toward an imaginary catcher, shaking off sign after sign, going into a full windup before finally releasing the orange, which almost never hits the exit...
...last-minute TV blitz. But Evans, who has a $225,000 budget, is running short of funds and has to rely on a makeshift approach to reach large numbers of voters.

Starting this week, Evans will stand by the final sign, waving...
...small amount of bone marrow and mixing it with genes capable of directing production of normal hemoglobin. The genes had been manufactured by bacteria altered by recombinant-DNA techniques.

U.S. regulations require investigators to get approval for tests with humans from special committees at their own institutions...
Sagan published his first paper at 22. Its title was an echo from his days with Muller and a sign of his growing interest in exobiology: "Radiation and the Origin of the Gene."

Eventually some 300 more papers would follow, including a particularly brilliant bit of deduction about the planet Venus. At the time, many scientists still regarded Venus as a kind of sister planet of the earth with a benign climate. But radio emissions from the planet were hinting...
...sessions. When Hoffman refuses to treat her again until she pays up, she tries to shoot him but misses. Her agent (Baritone James Billings) tells her to make a choice, opera, stage or screen. Then the devil (Bass Harris Poor) appears in a gray three-piece suit. "Simply sign your name," he says, "and I guarantee you fame." Finally she is visited by Diaghilev (Tenor Nico Castel), who also offers her success as a singer...
