Root Canals. Teeth are also often neglected. Milwaukee Vet Ray Pahle pointed out that he regularly removes tartar buildup from canine choppers, caps those that have worn down and has even done costly root canal work on abscessed teeth. Pahle also suggested an easy remedy for animal bad breath: brush the offender's teeth daily-if he allows it. Other vets noted the growth of a more serious problem: heartworm-a mosquito-borne parasite that lodges in the heart, can reach a foot in length and blocks the oxygen supplied to the body. Eventually the dog tires after...
Ignatius mumbled something and started to brush past me, then stopped and turned around. "Jesus Christ," he said, only not as loud as he usually said it, and a good deal more reverently. "Jesus Christ, first you have that damn ecumenical council and you start getting soft on those people, and then you start shoving your kids off to places like Haaaahhhvad, for the love of St. Peter, where they don't even know what's going on in the world of the soul, by God. Jesus Christ. Yeah, my foot hurts...
...RESPONDING TO BRUSH FIRES: The U.S. might find itself engaged in conflicts outside its principal theaters of operations, notably perhaps in the Middle East, the Persian Gulf, the Horn of Africa, the Caribbean.

At times, a simple show of force, like ordering a naval task force to steam toward a potential trouble spot, can be enough to protect U.S. interests and prevent...
...first conviction for Chavis, who had earned a degree in chemistry from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, but hardly his first brush with Southern justice. From 1968 to 1971, while pursuing civil rights work, he had frequently been jailed on such charges as trespassing, driving with a faulty turn signal, aiding fugitives and disrupting public schools. All ended in acquittal or dropping of charges. In the Wilmington case, the appeals were turned down 16 months ago, and the ten were imprisoned, though the white woman was paroled early this year...
Close, 36, a tall figure with a patriarchal beard, works very slowly, his air brush patiently rendering each microform of flesh and hair like a polyp secreting coral. Each painting takes months to finish, and since 1970 Close has finished only 18 of them. Thus any show by him is an event of interest, and his current one at New York's Pace Gallery is no disappointment. It consists of three large heads - one of Close himself, two of his friends in the art world - and a group of studies and drawings for them. Self-portrait and Klaus...
