Grateful Beneficiary. Now solutions are being found for even these problems. The Health Fund of Greater Cleveland has just begun sending around, along with its normal mobile blood-collecting unit, the nation's first auxiliary van equipped with a freeze-centrifuge apparatus. And recently Dr. Kenneth M. Brinkhous, a blood scientist at the University of North Carolina, collaborated with Dr. Edward Shanbrom of the Hyland (Los Angeles) division of Baxter Laboratories to perfect a new AHF six or seven times as strong as Dr. Pool's cryoprecipitate.

But not until Perutz learned how to put the pieces of his intricate puzzle together did anyone begin to understand just how hemoglobin does...
...been unable so far to deliver much in the way of tangible reforms. One reason is that since he took over last January, Party Boss Dubček has had to move with caution while he measured Russian reactions. Another is the plain impossibility of dismantling overnight the barnacled apparatus of a hard-lining Communist state. Last week Dubček finally acted against the conservative Communists remaining in both the government and the party who fear and resent the promised economic and political changes.
