...fourth quarter, Roy Moore, booted a 50-yard spiral across the Berkeley goal. From the 20, the Mitres, with Lamoreaux passing and running, were unable to gain ground. Foster intercepted on the Mitre 25. On the next play, quarterback Don McSweeney whipped around right end, utilizing a deceptive change of pace, down to the Berkeley 5. This time Foster put the lid on by scoring over center...
...mentally)into the cockpit of his sailplane--one of those white gull-winged ones that soar so silently over the countryside, miraculously holding itself off from the sordid earth beneath. Vag shoots into the air, makes use of several tricky thermals, then skillfully maneuvers the ship in a tight spiral under a great heavy cumulus cloud...
...Skipping most of Iran's largest centres, crossing mountain ranges, connecting with no foreign railways, the line is patently uneconomic. But Danish engineers, with the help of U. S., German, Italian, French, Swedish contractors, made it a striking engineering job with its numerous spectacular tunnels (one a bizarre spiral affair), many high bridges, frequent gorge-crossing viaducts...
...zigzags across the top floor of the main building of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research in Manhattan. Black are the floors, black the furniture, dark grey the windowless walls, shadowless the bleak illumination that comes through the skylights. Entrance to this aseptic, dustless, reflectionless hideaway is by a spiral staircase from an anteroom on the floor below. Only scientists particularly interested in fractioning life to its lowest common denominators may mount that spiral.

They could see by X-ray the foreign particles moving from the base of the lungs up & out. The movement they discovered was spiral and (viewed from above) clockwise. Particles traveled 1½ inches per minute within a cat's windpipe. When administered in oil or other fluids, the particles quickly reached the alveoli, were not completely excreted except over a period of weeks. The researchers found that the cilia, to remove dust effectively, must...
