...Reed Army Institute of Research, isolated the virus and devised ways of cultivating it in the laboratory. Parkman and a fellow pediatrician, Dr. Harry M. Meyer Jr., subsequently teamed up to attenuate or "tame" the virus so that, in a vaccine, it would cause no disease but would still trigger the making of antibodies and thereby produce immunity. Their strain, which was dubbed HPV-77, is the basis of the vaccine now licensed...
...justify a number of dubious practices. The net effect of this research on Harvard is something I am not qualified to judge. I wish only to say that selective reductions and adjustments in the amount and balance of research which might be suggested by a sober review would not trigger an unqualified financial catastrophe.

The jukebox rumbles with hard rock; a dope-addled white simp serves drinks when he is not rattling drumsticks along the bar in a syncopated frenzy...
Fortunately, real shooting skill was not a prominent characteristic of Western gunslingers. They were, as Fred Allen once remarked, only "half-fast on the draw" and far too quick on the trigger-an occupational affliction that the Rosa book implies was really an affliction of character. The Western gunfighters apparently had magnificent courage-and galloping neuroses...
