...antibody activity is to introduce antibody against the lymphocytes themselves. So thymus glands, spleens and lymph nodes are removed from human cadavers, and the extract is injected into horses. The horses' rejection mechanism goes to work and makes particles active against the human lymphocytes. The horses are later bled, antilymphocyte serum is extracted, and may be further refined to a globulin fraction. At the University of Colorado, a team headed by Dr. Thomas Starzl has performed 19 successful transplants since last June; given antilymphocyte globulin, the patients have got along well on sharply reduced doses of azathioprine and prednisone...
Such stock manipulations, if they occurred, are only one of Merritt-Chapman's misfortunes under Wolfson. Another is that he tried to build up and broaden the company too fast. Bled by such acquisitions as the unprofitable New York Shipbuilding Corp., the firm's profits and dividends have been dropping; in 1966, there was a loss of $740,000 and no dividend at all.

At least 21½ million Americans directly own corporate shares; another 100 million indirectly have a stake in the market through their holdings in mutual funds, pension funds, profit-sharing funds and the like. Last week the Dow-Jones industrial average tum bled again, by 30 points to 744, lowest since 1963. So far this year the market has plunged 25%, causing a loss of $120 billion, or an average of $2,000 for every U.S. family. These are euphemistically called paper losses - but in many instances they are very real...
...Beer. Not to be outdone by the foreign competition, Britain's Ivor Davies staged a complex, explosive demonstration that involved a picture of Robert Mitchum and a male anatomical model with a heart that bled and realistic genitalia. Japan's Yoko Ono had a fey Zen variant on the dominant theme: she spread out a cloth on which she drew the outlines of people's shadows, then folded it up to take their shadows prisoner...
