...referring to a chart fixed to the machine, users can tell whether their blood pressure is outside the normal range for their age. If so, that should be prodding enough for them to seek medical counsel. Hypertension is probably the leading cause of death in the U.S., yet can be easily treated, even in its most severe forms (TIME cover...
...morale among both graduate students and faculty, a crisis against which he intends to do battle. "The existential situation of the graduate student is pretty trying. He can read The New York Times just as well as anybody else. He knows that zero or minus on the chart is him. Most of our students probably think, 'Well, I'm going to be all right. It's not going to be me.' In most cases that's probably a sensible and statistically plausible way of looking at it. But in some fields, it's definitely unrealistic...
...says one insider. "When Angus Alston the chairman of the board, was dying of cancer in 1974, a new group came into power and wanted to get rid of their enemies, Gravitt and Ashley." Pat Maloney the flamboyant lawyer for Gravitt's widow, pointed to a Bell organization chart in the San Antonio courtroom; he accused Gravitt's successor, Chester L.

...been soaring, and as a result the purchasing power of money invested in corporate stocks has drastically declined. If the Dow average in each month since January 1965 had been deflated by the rate of increase in consumer prices for that month, it would today be about 443 (see chart). Another way of putting it: 90? invested in the Dow stocks 12½ years ago has shrunk, because of inflation and the market's poor performance, to 44? today. The Dow is an average of only 30 blue chips, but broader-based averages do not tell any very different...
...neutron bomb exploded 130 yds. in the air would destroy all structures within only a 140-yd. radius. It would instantly kill anyone within a half-mile radius, and for people within a one-mile range would cause delayed deaths up to a month after the blast (see chart). But because of its low-yield blast and heat effect, it would spare all buildings beyond a 140-yd. radius of ground zero. Moreover, the radiation dissipates quickly, and would not affect an area beyond a radius of 1% miles. More than other nukes, the bomb is thus very much...
