    This video by Fred Maxfield and Peter Marks was the subject of a Science article
    by Marcia Barianaga entitled "Biology Goes to the Movies" (November 30, 1990).
    It was recently rescued from an old VHS tape and put on Google video where it
    has been seen by over 3,000 viewers and been joined by several other clips
    about neutrophils.
