...Bend. Though the colon averages 5 ft. in length, the vast majority of diverticula are found in its last 15 inches, known as the sigmoid colon be cause it bends in an S shape from the lower end of the descending colon to the upper part of the rectum. Most of the sigmoid colon is in the left lower quarter of the body. When a diverticulum becomes inflamed (diverticulitis), the symptoms suggest "left-sided appendicitis." Symptoms usually include diarrhea, gas distension and pain...
Oregonians agreed that the session was one more sign of Dick Neuberger's growing stature. Commented the Bend Bulletin: "Neuberger has become a good U.S. Senator from Oregon . . . Morse, on the other hand, has shown he still prefers to go the same old way, changing sides, grabbing headlines, but doing darned little effective work on major problems of Oregon." Possible long-range effect: as the hottest young Republican in the West, Governor Hatfield is almost certain to try eventually for a U.S. Senate seat.

...GLAD YOU CAN HELP was the United Fund's slogan this fall in South Bend, Ind., one of the cities worst hit by 1958's recession. Many were.

Labor unions poured in money and effort as rarely before against right-to-work laws and proposals-and the results came to exciting focus in the Democratic victories in such generally Republican states as Indiana and Ohio. Economic hotspots, e.g., Indiana's South Bend district with its hundreds of unemployed Studebaker workers, took out their resentment on Republicans. Farmers, despite their own upturning economy, failed to return to their historic Republicanism in nearly enough numbers to make up the difference. Only in the South, with its improving economy, did Republicans come near holding their own in the congressional elections...
...story in Oedipus would have on one." The highly stylized production of Sophocles' masterpiece now playing at the Brattle is sure to be the subject of heated controversy in many a Hum 5 section and coffee house; but the iron anatomy remains which no mode of production can bend. Even those who would have preferred a less liturgical and more "human" enactment of the tragedy, therefore, will leave the theatre convinced again that Aristotle could not have picked a better paradigm of elemental power and dramatic impact than Oedipus...
