What: "Using PCR is like using a very powerful microscope," Lynch

a way to look at minute levels of residual cancer cells --
malignancy that remains after treatment is concluded. We're using
PCR to analyze blood and bone marrow and to correlate our findings
with what we see with X-ray images."

a: Godzilla ~
b: atomic bomb
What:
"For Godzilla was, even in its bowdlerized "King of the Monsters" incarnation, an obvious gigantic, unsubtle, grimly purposeful metaphor for the atomic bomb. The Americanized "Godzilla,' which removed about 40 minutes from the Japanese original and inserted 20 minutes or so of new scenes featuring a sympathetic Yank journalist (played, with burly gravitas, by Raymond Burr), did its darnedest to minimize the nuclear theme.
