...Symreng. Highland put his new skills to the test when he was struck by a horrific shooting pain while driving on a Sacramento freeway. "As soon as I felt it," he recalls, "I just breathed through my nose and let it go out my open mouth without moving my chest--two or three times. I felt relief almost instantaneously...
...deciding whether to run for President. Powell listened and asked questions as Perot explained his new party and his desire that it nominate some candidate other than himself for President--say, Powell or retiring Senator Bill Bradley, the New Jersey Democrat.

Former prison personnel described how those attacks produced pandemonium, with panicked prisoners seeking treatment from what were at times very few, poorly equipped medical workers. "When somebody died, we just took out their chest tube and inserted it into another, living person," said National Guard Captain Kelly Parrson, a physician's assistant at Abu Ghraib in late 2003 and 2004 who experienced three such attacks and was seriously injured by a mortar.
