...that these fortunate ones are only 15% of the total, whereas other doctors put the number as high as 40% to 50%. For the rest, whatever the percentage, Dr. Wilson is an all-out advocate of hormone replacement therapy, preferably beginning as early as age 30. With proper professional caution, he insists that a woman should take hormones only under a doctor's care, and should have a Papanicolaou smear test every year. The test serves a dual purpose: besides being a precautionary check for early cancer, the smear is read to show what percentage of the woman...

But Moscow finally realized that it could no longer hope to retain loyalties in Eastern Europe by mere dictation. Russian forces began withdrawing from the satellites; by 1958, the 55,000 Red Army troops that had arrived in Rumania 14 years earlier under General Rodion Malinovsky were finally pulled...
...which handled most of Rumania's oil refining, river traffic and other key businesses. As always, the moves were slick and carefully timed so that Moscow was looking in another direction when Dej acted.
