	London/np explains/vbz that/cs the/at very/ql distinct/jj directional/jj effect/nn in/in the/at Phase/nn-tl 4/cd-tl series/nn is/bez due/jj in/in large/jj part/nn to/in their/pp$ novel/jj methods/nns of/in microphoning/nn and/cc recording/vbg the/at music/nn on/in a/at number/nn of/in separate/jj tape/nn channels/nns ./.

	In/in Newport/np last/ap night/nn there/ex were/bed flashes/nns of/in distant/jj lightning/nn in/in the/at northern/jj skies/nns ./.
This/dt was/bedz perhaps/rb symbolic/jj of/in the/at jazz/nn of/in the/at evening/nn --/-- flashes/nns in/in the/at distance/nn ,/, but/cc no/at storm/nn ./.


	Several/ap times/nns it/pps came/vbd near/in breaking/vbg ,/, and/cc there/ex were/bed in/in fact/nn some/dti lovely/jj peals/nns of/in thunder/nn from/in Jerry/np Mulligan's/np$ big/jj band/nn ,/, which/wdt is/bez about/rp as/ql fine/jj an/at aggregation/nn as/cs has/hvz come/vbn along/rb in/in the/at jazz/nn business/nn since/cs John/np Hammond/np found/vbd Count/nn-tl Basie/np working/vbg in/in a/at Kansas/np City/nn-tl trap/nn ./.


	Mulligan's/np$ band/nn has/hvz been/ben infected/vbn with/in his/pp$ solid/jj sense/nn of/in swing/nn ,/, and/cc what/wdt it/pps does/doz seems/vbz far/ql more/ql meaningful/jj than/cs most/ap of/in the/at noise/nn generated/vbn by/in the/at big/jj concert/nn aggregations/nns ./.


	But/cc what/wdt is/bez equally/rb impressive/jj is/bez the/at delicacy/nn and/cc wonderful/jj lyric/nn quality/nn of/in both/abx the/at band/nn and/cc Mulligan's/np$ baritone/nn sax/nn in/in a/at fragile/jj ballad/nn like/cs Bob/np Brookmeyer's/np$ arrangement/nn of/in ``/`` Django's/np$-tl Castle/nn-tl ''/'' ./.


	For/in subtle/jj swinging/vbg rhythms/nns ,/, I/ppss could/md admire/vb intensely/rb Mulligan's/np$ version/nn of/in ``/`` Weep/vb-tl ''/'' ,/, and/cc the/at fireworks/nns went/vbd on/in display/nn in/in ``/`` 18/cd Carrots/nns-tl For/in-tl Robert/np-tl ''/'' ,/, a/at sax/nn tribute/nn to/in Johnny/np Hodges/np ./.

Unfortunately/rb ,/, Blakey/np doesn't/doz* choose/vb to/to work/vb much/ap of/in the/at time/nn in/in this/dt vein/nn ./.
He/pps prefers/vbz to/to have/hv his/pp$ soloist/nn performing/vbg and/cc thus/rb we/ppss get/vb only/rb brief/jj glimpses/nns of/in what/wdt his/pp$ ensemble/nn work/nn is/bez like/jj ./.


	What/wdt we/ppss did/dod get/vb ,/, however/rb ,/, was/bedz impressive/jj ./.


	A/at few/ap drops/nns of/in rain/nn just/rb before/in midnight/nn ,/, when/wrb Sarah/np Vaughan/np was/bedz in/in the/at midst/nn of/in her/pp$ first/od number/nn ,/, scattered/vbd the/at more/ql timid/jj members/nns of/in the/at audience/nn briefly/rb ,/, but/cc at/in this/dt hour/nn and/cc with/in Sarah/np on/in the/at stand/nn ,/, most/ap of/in the/at listeners/nns didn't/dod* care/vb whether/cs they/ppss got/vbd wet/jj ./.


	Miss/np Vaughan/np was/bedz back/rb in/in top/jjs form/nn ,/, somehow/rb mellowed/vbn and/cc improved/vbn with/in the/at passage/nn of/in time/nn --/-- like/cs a/at fine/jj wine/nn ./.

	Putting/vbg on/rp local/jj musicians/nns at/in this/dt place/nn in/in the/at program/nn serves/vbz a/at triple/jj purpose/nn :/: it/pps saves/vbz the/at top/jjs flight/nn jazz/nn men/nns from/in being/beg wasted/vbn in/in this/dt unenviable/jj spot/nn ,/, when/wrb the/at audience/nn is/bez cold/jj ,/, restless/jj ,/, and/cc in/in flux/nn ;/. ;/.
it/pps prevents/vbz late-comers/nns from/in missing/vbg some/dti of/in the/at people/nns they/ppss have/hv come/vbn a/at long/jj way/nn to/to hear/vb ,/, and/cc it/pps gives/vbz the/at resident/jj musicians/nns a/at chance/nn to/to perform/vb before/in the/at famous/jj Newport/np audience/nn ./.

Now/rb Gavin/np Maxwell's/np$ Ring/nn-tl Of/in-tl Bright/jj-tl Water/nn-tl has/hvz widened/vbn to/to enchant/vb the/at world/nn ./.
New/jj-tl York/np-tl 
--/-- The/at performances/nns of/in the/at Comedie/fw-nn-tl Francaise/fw-jj-tl are/ber the/at most/ql important/jj recent/jj events/nns in/in the/at New/jj-tl York/np-tl theater/nn ./.


	They/ppss serve/vb to/to contradict/vb a/at popular/jj notion/nn that/cs the/at Comedie/fw-nn-tl merely/rb repeats/vbz ,/, as/ql accurately/rb as/cs possible/jj ,/, the/at techniques/nns of/in acting/vbg the/at classics/nns that/wps prevailed/vbd in/in the/at 17th/od century/nn ./.
On/in the/at contrary/jj ,/, the/at old/jj plays/nns are/ber continually/rb being/beg reinterpreted/vbn ,/, and/cc each/dt new/jj production/nn of/in a/at classic/nn has/hvz only/rb a/at brief/jj history/nn at/in the/at Comedie/fw-nn-tl ./.


	Of/in course/nn ,/, the/at well-received/jj revivals/nns last/vb longer/rbr than/cs the/at others/nns ,/, and/cc that/dt further/rbr reminds/vbz us/ppo that/cs the/at Comedie/fw-nn-tl is/bez not/* insensitive/jj to/in criticism/nn ./.
The/at directors/nns of/in the/at Comedie/fw-nn-tl do/do not/* respond/vb to/in adverse/jj notices/nns in/in as/ql docile/jj and/cc subservient/jj a/at manner/nn as/cs the/at Broadway/np producers/nns who/wps ,/, in/in two/cd instances/nns this/dt season/nn ,/, closed/vbd their/pp$ plays/nns after/in one/cd performance/nn ./.
But/cc they/ppss are/ber aware/jj of/in the/at world/nn outside/rb ,/, they/ppss court/vb public/jj approval/nn ,/, they/ppss delight/vb in/in full/jj houses/nns ,/, and/cc they/ppss occasionally/rb dare/vb to/to experiment/vb in/in interpreting/vbg a/at dramatic/jj classic/nn ./.


	In/in France/np ,/, novel/jj approaches/nns to/in the/at classic/jj French/jj plays/nns are/ber frequently/rb attempted/vbn ./.
The/at government/nn pays/vbz a/at subsidy/nn for/in revival/nn of/in the/at classics/nns ,/, and/cc this/dt policy/nn attracts/vbz experimenters/nns who/wps sometimes/rb put/vb Moliere's/np$ characters/nns in/in modern/jj dress/nn and/cc often/rb achieve/vb interesting/jj results/nns ./.


	So/ql far/rb as/cs I/ppss know/vb ,/, the/at Comedie/fw-nn-tl has/hvz never/rb put/vbn Moliere's/np$ people/nns in/in the/at costumes/nns of/in the/at 20th/od century/nn ,/, but/cc they/ppss do/do reinterpret/vb plays/nns and/cc characters/nns ./.
Last/ap season/nn ,/, the/at Comedie's/np$ two/cd principal/jjs experiments/nns came/vbd to/in grief/nn ,/, and/cc ,/, in/in consequence/nn ,/, we/ppss can/md expect/vb fairly/ql soon/rb to/to see/vb still/ql newer/jjr productions/nns of/in Racine's/np$ ``/`` Phedre/np-tl ''/'' and/cc Moliere's/np$ ``/`` School/nn-tl For/in-tl Wives/nns-tl ''/'' ./.


	The/at new/jj ``/`` Phedre/np-tl ''/'' was/bedz done/vbn in/in 17th/od century/nn setting/nn ,/, instead/rb of/in ancient/jj Greek/jj ;/. ;/.
perhaps/rb that/dt is/bez the/at Comedie's/np$ equivalent/jj for/in thrusting/vbg this/dt play's/nn$ characters/nns into/in our/pp$ own/jj time/nn ./.
The/at speaking/nn of/in the/at lines/nns seemed/vbd excessively/ql slow/jj and/cc stately/jj ,/, possibly/rb in/in an/at effort/nn to/to capture/vb the/at spirit/nn of/in 17th/od century/nn elegance/nn ./.
A/at few/ap literary/jj men/nns defended/vbd what/wdt they/ppss took/vbd to/to be/be an/at emphasis/nn on/in the/at poetry/nn at/in the/at expense/nn of/in the/at drama/nn ,/, but/cc the/at response/nn was/bedz mainly/ql hostile/jj and/cc quite/ql violent/jj ./.


	The/at new/jj ``/`` School/nn-tl For/in-tl Wives/nns-tl ''/'' was/bedz interpreted/vbn according/in to/in a/at principle/nn that/wps is/bez becoming/vbg increasingly/ql common/jj in/in the/at playing/nn of/in classic/jj comedy/nn --/-- the/at idea/nn of/in turning/vbg some/dti obviously/rb ludicrous/jj figure/nn into/in a/at tragic/jj character/nn ./.


	Among/in the/at Moliere/np specialists/nns of/in some/dti years/nns ago/rb ,/, Louis/np Jouvet/np tried/vbd to/to humanize/vb some/dti of/in the/at clowns/nns ,/, while/cs Fernand/np Ledoux/np ,/, often/rb performing/vbg at/in the/at Comedie/fw-nn-tl ,/, made/vbd them/ppo more/ql gross/jj than/cs Moliere/np may/md have/hv intended/vbn ./.


	Apparently/rb ,/, Jouvet/np and/cc Ledoux/np attempted/vbd just/rb these/dts dissimilar/jj approaches/nns in/in the/at role/nn of/in Arnolphe/np in/in ``/`` The/at-tl School/nn-tl For/in-tl Wives/nns-tl ''/'' ./.
I/ppss say/vb ``/`` apparently/rb ''/'' although/cs I/ppss saw/vbd Jouvet/np as/cs Arnolphe/np when/wrb he/pps visited/vbd this/dt country/nn shortly/rb before/in his/pp$ death/nn ;/. ;/.
by/in that/dt time/nn ,/, he/pps seemed/vbd to/to have/hv dropped/vbn the/at tragic/jj playing/nn of/in the/at last/ap moments/nns of/in the/at comedy/nn ./.


	Arnolphe/np ,/, it/pps will/md be/be recalled/vbn ,/, is/bez a/at man/nn of/in mature/jj years/nns who/wps tries/vbz to/to preserve/vb the/at innocence/nn of/in his/pp$ youthful/jj wife-to-be/nn ./.
The/at part/nn can/md lend/vb itself/ppl to/in serious/jj treatment/nn ;/. ;/.
one/cd influential/jj French/jj critic/nn remarked/vbd :/: ``/`` Pity/nn for/in Arnolphe/np comes/vbz with/in age/nn ''/'' ./.


	Accordingly/rb ,/, at/in the/at Comedie/fw-nn-tl last/ap year/nn ,/, Jean/np Meyer/np played/vbd a/at sympathetic/jj Arnolphe/np and/cc drew/vbd criticism/nn for/in turning/vbg the/at comedy/nn into/in a/at tragedy/nn ./.
But/cc the/at stuff/nn of/in tragedy/nn was/bedz not/* truly/rb present/rb and/cc the/at play/nn became/vbd only/ap comedy/nn acted/vbn rather/ql slowly/rb ./.


	Wisely/rb ,/, the/at Comedie/fw-nn-tl has/hvz brought/vbn Moliere's/np$ ``/`` Tartuffe/np-tl ''/'' on/in its/pp$ tour/nn and/cc has/hvz left/vbn ``/`` The/at-tl School/nn-tl For/in-tl Wives/nns-tl ''/'' at/in home/nr ./.
Tartuffe/np is/bez the/at religious/jj hypocrite/nn who/wps courts/vbz his/pp$ benefactor's/nn$ wife/nn ./.
Jouvet/np played/vbd him/ppo as/cs a/at sincere/jj zealot/nn ,/, and/cc Ledoux/np ,/, at/in the/at Comedie/fw-nn-tl ,/, made/vbd him/ppo a/at gross/jj buffoon/nn ,/, or/cc so/rb the/at historians/nns tell/vb us/ppo ./.


	Louis/np Seigner/np ,/, who/wps formerly/rb played/vbd the/at deluded/vbn benefactor/nn opposite/in Ledoux/np ,/, is/bez the/at Tartuffe/np of/in the/at present/jj production/nn ,/, which/wdt he/pps himself/ppl directed/vbd ./.
His/pp$ Tartuffe/np observes/vbz the/at golden/jj mean/nn ./.
His/pp$ red/jj face/nn ,/, his/pp$ coarse/jj gestures/nns ,/, and/cc his/pp$ lustful/jj stares/nns bespeak/vb his/pp$ sensuality/nn ./.
But/cc his/pp$ heavenward/jj glances/nns and/cc his/pp$ pious/jj speeches/nns are/ber not/* merely/rb perfunctory/jj ;/. ;/.
of/in course/nn ,/, they/ppss do/do not/* reflect/vb sincerity/nn ,/, but/cc they/ppss exhibit/vb a/at concern/nn to/to make/vb a/at good/jj job/nn out/in of/in his/pp$ pious/jj impersonation/nn ./.


	Occasionally/rb ,/, Seigner/np draws/vbz some/dti justly/rb deserved/vbn laughs/nns by/in his/pp$ quick/jj shifts/nns from/in one/cd personality/nn to/in another/dt ./.
The/at whole/jj role/nn ,/, by/in the/at way/nn ,/, is/bez a/at considerable/jj transformation/nn for/in anyone/pn who/wps has/hvz seen/vbn Seigner/np in/in his/pp$ other/ap parts/nns ./.
His/pp$ normal/jj specialty/nn is/bez playing/vbg the/at good-natured/jj old/jj man/nn ,/, frequently/rb stupid/jj or/cc deluded/vbn but/cc never/rb mean/jj or/cc sly/jj ./.

In/in that/dt function/nn ,/, he/pps helps/vbz to/to rebut/vb another/dt legend/nn about/in the/at Comedie/fw-nn-tl ./.
We/ppss are/ber often/rb told/vbn that/cs the/at Comedie/fw-nn-tl has/hvz ,/, unfortunately/rb ,/, life-contracts/nns with/in old/jj actors/nns who/wps are/ber both/abx mediocre/jj and/cc lazy/jj ,/, drawing/vbg their/pp$ pay/nn without/in much/ap acting/nn but/cc probably/rb doing/vbg real/jj service/nn to/in the/at Comedie/fw-nn-tl by/in staying/vbg off/in the/at stage/nn ./.
Seigner/np ,/, however/wrb ,/, is/bez a/at fine/jj actor/nn and/cc probably/rb the/at busiest/jjt man/nn in/in the/at company/nn ;/. ;/.

	Dr./nn-tl Bonnor/np begins/vbz with/in a/at discussion/nn of/in the/at relativistic/jj theories/nns of/in the/at universe/nn ,/, based/vbn on/in the/at general/jj theory/nn of/in relativity/nn ./.
First/od of/in all/abn ,/, and/cc this/dt has/hvz been/ben calculated/vbn by/in observation/nn ,/, the/at universe/nn is/bez expanding/vbg --/-- that/dt is/bez ,/, the/at galaxies/nns are/ber receding/vbg from/in each/dt other/ap at/in immense/jj speeds/nns ./.
Because/rb of/in this/dt Dr./nn-tl Bonnor/np holds/vbz that/cs the/at universe/nn is/bez becoming/vbg more/ql thinly/rb populated/vbn by/in stars/nns and/cc whatever/wdt else/rb is/bez there/rb ./.
This/dt expansion/nn has/hvz been/ben going/vbg on/rp for/in an/at estimated/vbn eight/cd billion/cd years/nns ./.



Expands/vbz-hl and/cc-hl contracts/vbz-hl 
Dr./nn-tl Bonnor/np supports/vbz the/at idea/nn that/cs the/at universe/nn both/abx expands/vbz and/cc contracts/vbz ,/, that/cs in/in several/ap billion/cd years/nns the/at expansion/nn will/md slow/vb up/rp and/cc reverse/vb itself/ppl and/cc that/cs the/at contraction/nn will/md set/vb in/rp ./.
Then/rb ,/, after/in many/ql more/ap billions/nns of/in years/nns ,/, when/wrb all/abn the/at galaxies/nns are/ber whistling/vbg toward/in a/at common/jj center/nn ,/, this/dt movement/nn will/md slow/vb down/rp and/cc reverse/vb itself/ppl again/rb ./.


	Professor/nn-tl Bondi/np disagrees/vbz with/in the/at expansion-contraction/nn theory/nn ./.
He/pps supports/vbz the/at steady-state/nn theory/nn which/wdt holds/vbz that/cs matter/nn is/bez continually/rb being/beg created/vbn in/in space/nn ./.
For/in this/dt reason/nn ,/, he/pps says/vbz ,/, the/at density/nn of/in the/at universe/nn always/rb remains/vbz the/at same/ap even/rb though/cs the/at galaxies/nns are/ber zooming/vbg away/rb in/in all/abn directions/nns ./.
New/jj galaxies/nns are/ber forever/rb being/beg formed/vbn to/to fill/vb in/rp the/at gaps/nns left/vbn by/in the/at receding/vbg galaxies/nns ./.


	If/cs this/dt is/bez true/jj ,/, then/rb the/at universe/nn today/nr looks/vbz just/rb as/cs it/pps did/dod millions/nns of/in years/nns ago/rb and/cc as/cs it/pps will/md look/vb millions/nns of/in years/nns hence/rb ,/, even/rb though/cs the/at universe/nn is/bez expanding/vbg ./.
For/cs new/jj galaxies/nns to/to be/be created/vbn ,/, Professor/nn-tl Bondi/np declares/vbz ,/, it/pps would/md only/rb be/be necessary/jj for/in a/at single/ap hydrogen/nn atom/nn to/to be/be created/vbn in/in an/at area/nn the/at size/nn of/in your/pp$ living/vbg room/nn once/rb every/at few/ap million/cd years/nns ./.
He/pps contends/vbz this/dt idea/nn doesn't/doz* conflict/vb with/in experiments/nns on/in which/wdt the/at principle/nn of/in conservation/nn of/in matter/nn and/cc energy/nn is/bez based/vbn because/cs some/dti slight/jj error/nn must/md be/be assumed/vbn in/in such/jj experiments/nns ./.


	Dr./nn-tl Lyttleton/np backs/vbz the/at theory/nn that/cs we/ppss live/vb in/in an/at electric/jj universe/nn and/cc this/dt theory/nn starts/vbz with/in the/at behavior/nn of/in protons/nns and/cc electrons/nns ./.
Protons/nns and/cc electrons/nns bear/vb opposite/jj electrical/jj charges/nns which/wdt make/vb them/ppo attract/vb each/dt other/ap ,/, and/cc when/wrb they/ppss are/ber joined/vbn they/ppss make/vb up/rp an/at atom/nn of/in hydrogen/nn --/-- the/at basic/jj building/vbg block/nn of/in matter/nn ./.
The/at charges/nns of/in the/at electron/nn and/cc proton/nn are/ber believed/vbn to/to be/be exactly/ql equal/jj and/cc opposite/jj ,/, but/cc Dr./nn-tl Lyttleton/np is/bez not/* so/ql sure/jj ./.
Suppose/vb ,/, says/vbz Dr./nn-tl Lyttleton/np ,/, the/at proton/nn has/hvz a/at slightly/ql greater/jjr charge/nn than/cs the/at electron/nn (/( so/ql slight/jj it/pps is/bez presently/rb immeasurable/jj )/) ./.
This/dt would/md give/vb the/at hydrogen/nn atom/nn a/at slight/jj charge-excess/nn ./.


	Now/rb if/cs one/cd hydrogen/nn atom/nn were/bed placed/vbn at/in the/at surface/nn of/in a/at large/jj sphere/nn of/in hydrogen/nn atoms/nns ,/, it/pps would/md be/be subject/nn both/abx to/in the/at gravitation/nn of/in the/at sphere/nn and/cc the/at charge-excess/nn of/in all/abn those/dts atoms/nns in/in the/at sphere/nn ./.
Because/cs electrical/jj forces/nns (/( the/at charge-excess/nn )/) are/ber far/ql more/ql powerful/jj than/cs gravitation/nn ,/, the/at surface/nn hydrogen/nn atoms/nns would/md shoot/vb away/rb from/in the/at sphere/nn ./.


	Dr./nn-tl Lyttleton/np then/rb imagines/vbz the/at universe/nn as/cs a/at large/jj hydrogen/nn sphere/nn with/in surface/nn atoms/nns shooting/vbg away/rb from/in it/ppo ./.
This/dt ,/, he/pps claims/vbz ,/, would/md reasonably/rb account/vb for/in the/at expansion/nn of/in the/at universe/nn ./.

	It/pps is/bez clear/jj from/in this/dt discussion/nn that/cs cosmologists/nns of/in every/at persuasion/nn look/vb hopefully/rb toward/in the/at day/nn when/wrb a/at man-made/jj satellite/nn can/md be/be equipped/vbn with/in optical/jj devices/nns which/wdt will/md open/vb up/rp new/jj vistas/nns to/in science/nn ./.
Presently/rb ,/, the/at intense/jj absorption/nn of/in ultra-violet/jj rays/nns in/in the/at earth's/nn$ atmosphere/nn seriously/rb hinders/vbz ground/nn observation/nn ./.
These/dts scientists/nns are/ber convinced/vbn that/cs a/at telescope/nn unclouded/jj by/in the/at earth's/nn$ gases/nns will/md go/vb a/at long/jj way/nn toward/in bolstering/vbg or/cc destroying/vbg cosmic/jj theories/nns ./.

	Mr./np Remarque's/np$ conception/nn of/in this/dt novel/nn was/bedz sound/jj and/cc perhaps/rb even/rb noble/jj ./.

Between/in the/at first/od meeting/nn of/in Clerfayt/np and/cc Lillian/np and/cc this/dt dismal/jj denouement/nn ,/, Mr./np Remarque/np has/hvz laid/vbn down/rp many/ap pages/nns of/in junior-philosophical/jj discourse/nn ,/, some/dti demure/jj and/cc rather/ql fetching/jj love-making/nn ,/, pleasant/jj talk/nn about/in some/dti of/in the/at countryside/nn and/cc restaurants/nns of/in Europe/np ,/, and/cc a/at modicum/nn of/in automobile/nn racing/nn ./.

Although/cs the/at fatty/jj protein/nn molecules/nns ,/, carried/vbn in/in the/at blood/nn and/cc partly/rb composed/vbn of/in cholesterol/nn ,/, are/ber water/nn soluble/jj ,/, cholesterol/nn itself/ppl is/bez insoluble/jj ,/, and/cc cannot/md* be/be destroyed/vbn by/in the/at body/nn ./.

As/cs cholesterol/nn piles/vbz up/rp ,/, it/pps narrows/vbz ,/, irritates/vbz and/cc damages/vbz the/at artery/nn ,/, encouraging/vbg formation/nn of/in calcium/nn deposits/nns and/cc slowing/vbg circulation/nn ./.

Or/cc (/( more/ql commonly/rb ,/, thinks/vbz Keys/np )/) the/at deposits/nns themselves/ppls get/vb so/ql big/jj that/cs they/ppss choke/vb off/rp the/at artery's/nn$ flow/nn to/in the/at point/nn that/cs an/at infarct/nn occurs/vbz :/: the/at heart/nn muscle/nn is/bez suffocated/vbn ,/, cells/nns supplied/vbn by/in the/at artery/nn die/vb ,/, and/cc the/at heart/nn is/bez permanently/rb ,/, perhaps/rb fatally/rb injured/vbn ./.

Even/rb eggs/nns and/cc other/ap cholesterol-rich/jj foods/nns ,/, eaten/vbn in/in normal/jj amounts/vbz ,/, says/vbz Dr./nn-tl Keys/np ,/, do/do not/* materially/rb affect/vb the/at amount/nn of/in cholesterol/nn in/in the/at blood/nn ./.

	During/in World/nn-tl War/nn-tl 2/cd-tl ,/, ,/, doctors/nns in/in The/at-tl Netherlands/np-tl and/cc Scandinavia/np noted/vbd a/at curious/jj fact/nn :/: despite/in the/at stresses/nns of/in Nazi/np occupation/nn ,/, the/at death/nn rate/nn from/in coronary/nn artery/nn disease/nn was/bedz slowly/rb dropping/vbg ./.

That/dt year/nn ,/, Sweden's/np$ Haqvin/np Malmros/np showed/vbd that/cs the/at sinking/vbg death/nn rate/nn neatly/rb coincided/vbd with/in increasingly/ql severe/jj restrictions/nns on/in fatty/jj foods/nns ./.
That/dt same/ap year/nn the/at University/nn-tl of/in-tl California's/np$-tl Dr./nn-tl Laurance/np Kinsell/np ,/, timing/vbg oxidation/nn rates/nns of/in blood/nn fats/nns ,/, stumbled/vbd onto/in the/at discovery/nn that/cs many/ap vegetable/nn fats/nns cause/vb blood/nn cholesterol/nn levels/nns to/to drop/vb radically/rb ,/, while/cs animal/nn fats/nns cause/vb them/ppo to/to rise/vb ./.
