...Epstein's article, "Ignorance Can Be Lethal"(April 30) focuses much needed attention on the serious issue of obtaining essential medical assessment of a student or guest who presents a severe and potentially life threatening level of intoxication. The scenario described indicated a need for prompt intervention. A call to HUHS's 24-Hour Emergency line at 495-5711 would have provided advice and confidential help. HUHS's primary concern is the safety and well-being of the student or guest and the need to provide timely assessment and intervention in order to support recovery and avoid grave injury. Clinicians...
...think much can be explained by the trench coats, not because they are long and black and what the kids call Gothic, but because they look alike; they conceal differences. People who are attracted to clans and cults seek to lose their individuality and discover power and pride in a group. As individuals, the killers, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, were vulnerable, taunted by the other tribes in school--the cliques, the athletes--as geeks and nerds. "He just put a gun to my head," a girl reported. "And he started laughing and saying it was all because people were...
...talent. After seeing The Script Doctor, a short film made for just $150 by the Fields brothers, a Cleveland, Ohio, threesome who worked in their father's wedding-video business, the company hired them to develop Student Affairs. And New York independent filmmaker Noah Baumbach, 29, got a telephone call from Imagine inviting him to pitch TV ideas similar to his chatty, cerebral film comedies (one, Kicking and Screaming, was about a group of guys who graduate from college but won't leave). Baumbach came up with Thirty, based in part on his own life and the lives...
Logical, but wrong. When scientists measured exactly how much eggs raise cholesterol levels in the blood, they found the increase was small. (One exception is the folks whom doctors call responders, who churn out cholesterol when they eat eggs.) Researchers from Harvard University and Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston went a step further in the study released last week and looked at actual egg consumption among 120,000 nurses and other health professionals with normal cholesterol levels. After eliminating the "bacon effect," the researchers found no link between eggs and heart disease or stroke. The major exception: folks...
...MORENO, better known as Senor Wences, 103, ventriloquist who created impish dummies out of his thumb and forefinger; in New York City. As a schoolboy in Spain, Moreno began using his hand as a puppet to amuse himself while in detention for answering for absent friends during homeroom roll call. On the '50s and '60s variety shows of Ed Sullivan, Milton Berle and Sid Caesar, among others, he delighted audiences with sweetly silly exchanges. The often cranky Pedro, a disembodied head in a box, usually answered Wences' inquiry as to whether he was "all right" with a casual...
