...sees 15 to 20 patients a day. Most are poor and black, their ailments mainly heart trouble, high blood pressure, arthritis and diabetes. Just before noon the hospital calls to tell him that an obstetrical patient is in the last stages of labor. Bui hurries to his 1975 Ford Granada for a trip he sometimes has to make four times a day (half an hour each way). He speeds toward Lake Village, chain-smoking Vantage 100s, but when he reaches the town, he is too late. Barbara Jones is already lying on the delivery table smiling at her newborn girl...

From there on, after about a week's training the patient can take over himself by attaching to the tube a small plastic bag containing two liters (about two quarts) of a special solution similar to the dialysate, or blood-cleansing fluid, used in kidney machines. The patient raises the bag to shoulder level or above, and the fluid flows down into the abdomen, bathing the peritoneal membrane, which contains many small blood vessels. The tube is then clamped off, and the patient folds up the empty bag into a neat package that he wears beneath the clothing...
Dean Rosovsky, however, drew no blood with his latest report on the state of graduate education. Rosovsky wrote a critique of the financial and professional woes of higher education, carefully refraining from making any concrete suggestions for reform. He says he has no "master plan," and will wait for further discussion by the Faculty before proposing any changes...
