Frei noted that cosmetic treatment meant to improve the quality of the patient's life after treatment has gained in importance. Instead of amputation of a 15-year-old's leg, for example, doctors now will isolate only the part of the bone affected by cancer and treat it with radiotherapy...
...more than that there is no reason to think she cannot. Some of her movies have sunk out of sight, and one, Peter Fonda's Wanda Nevada, was never released. Director Malle guided her brilliantly through Pretty Baby, a film opulent of flesh but lacking the bone structure that might have made it great. She mugged cheerfully in a not very successful George Burns comedy, Just You and Me, Kid. (She says she wants to do comedy, but her mother, less sure, would prefer she stay with pretty pictures.) She was ridiculous in the idiotic desert island saga Blue...
...went to the Kung Fu club's exhibition because I was thinking of joining the club in order to improve my limited flexibility and coordination on the squash court," Gabrieli said.

...England has been struck hardest by the cold, with record lows in every state. In East Haven, Vt, the temperature was heading toward a record -50° when the local weather station thermometer broke at -40°. Compounding the bone-chilling blast was a shortage of natural gas, particularly in Boston. Governor Edward King ordered businesses to set thermostats at 55° and closed all Massachusetts schools heated by natural gas. Says one utility executive: "He won't need to announce other actions if conservation doesn't work. There won't be any gas." Estimates are that...
