Boudreaux wanted to do metal work, but he could not reach a workbench from a wheelchair, and anyhow, he could not sit on the ulcer at the base of his spine. He had heard about stand-up beds and tilt-tables-so why not convert a wheelchair into something similar? Therapist Robert E. Craig and Dr. Hodge M. Eagleson Jr. worked with Boudreaux in perfecting a sort of surfboard-wheelchair combination...
...fact, the early reign of the historical Macbeth was admirable--one of several aspects of Holinshed's Chronicles that Shakespeare suppressed or changed). This is not to deny Macbeth's ambition.

But he had every right to expect that he would be anyhow, for it must be remembered that in 11th-century Scotland the kingship was an elective office and that Duncan's public announcement making his son Malcolm the heir-apparent was actually illegal.

The program response was anyhow obvious enough: guaranteed full employment, birth control, adoption services, etc. But first of all a family allowance. The United States is the only industrial democracy in the world without a system of automatic income supplements for people living with their children. It is the simplest and possibly the most effective...
