...that Germany declared war on France, Aug. 3, 1914, was also the day that the first ocean-going ship-the cement carrier Cristobal-passed through the newly built Panama Canal. The coincidence provides one of those Janus dates of history: the canal reflecting the 19th century's unambiguous energies, organizational drive and technological genius, and World War I inaugurating a century in which those forces would...
...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.

...November 1975, William O. Douglas, 78, attended the ceremonies dedicating to him the 20,200-acre Chesapeake and Ohio National Historical Park.

...would probably take something as unlikely as a Cuban attack on the Panama Canal to prevent what now seems almost inevitable: restoration of diplomatic relations between Washington and Havana. In recent weeks the Administration has lifted travel restrictions for Americans who wish to visit Cuba and begun bilateral talks with Havana on a new fishing agreement-necessary since both countries claim 200-mile offshore limits, but are only 90 miles apart. One plan currently under consideration by Washington is to set up an American-staffed "interest" section attached to the Swiss Embassy in Havana, which now represents...
