Great moments in copyediting:

“Before Atwater died, of brain cancer, in 1991, he expressed regret…” Yagoda wrote, “No other publication would put a comma after ‘died’ or ‘cancer’. The New Yorker does so because otherwise (or so the thinking goes), the sentence would suggest that Atwater died multiple times & of multiple causes." 

'Cooke had always admired Bob Dylan’s civil rights song “Blowin’ in the Wind”. He pulled it straight into his own live repertoire, but still, as biographer Daniel Wolff wrote, something troubled him: “Geez, a white boy writing a song like that?” A 2005 biographer, Peter Guralnick, said that Cooke was “almost ashamed not to have written something like that himself”.

'Desde muy joven, Saura mostró su interés por diferentes disciplinas artísticas. La fotografía, la pintura y la música formaban parte del calor familiar.

'Es un tipo muy duro. Meticuloso. Comprometido. Y ese espíritu se refleja en sus proyectos, como Amazônia, al que pertenecen las imágenes de estas páginas: travesías por la selva amazónica a lo largo de varios años para retratar la tragedia ecológica y humana de la destrucción del pulmón del planeta.'

'Here, once again, my personal landscape shifted and the possibility of a career in science seemed beyond my reach. I struggled to sleep at nights. I even tried distracting myself with daily 7 mile runs, every pounding step the question echoing: What do you do when you don’t know what to do?'

'The pigment cells of the sea urchin were also found to be similar to immune and neural cell types in the sea star. Based on the genes shared between them, Meyer et al. propose that pigment cells have a dual role (immune and neural) in sea urchin larvae, while these functions are exerted by two separate cell types in sea stars (Figure 1B).'

'Contrary to maternal antibodies, maternal microchimeric cells (MMc) show a high longevity, as they can persist in the offspring until adulthood. Recent evidence highlights that MMc leukocytes promote neonatal immunity against early-life infections in mice and humans.'
