...dozen years after Barney Clark received the first experimental artificial heart, the FDA finally approved a similar device for broad use. The CardioWest, which is surgically implanted in the chest, fills in for the heart's pumping chambers, shunting blood throughout the body. But because it remains connected to a power console outside the chest, the device is only a temporary fix, intended to buy time for the sickest patients while they wait for a heart transplant. Still, it has proved effective. Patients put on CardioWest were more than twice as likely to survive for a year, increasing their chance...
Thesilence, I'mtold, is way worse than the snoring. In the middle of the night, you go quiet for a while. Your chest heaves. Nada. Your body tries again. Still nothing. Then, if you're lucky, your brain kicks in and sends out the alarm: without oxygen, it will starve. So your reflexes get your body to rouse; there's a snuffling, wheezing and then a big intake of breath. And then back to normal breathing--or more snoring--until the cycle starts again.

...room parties are thrown with the tacit approval of different candidates, and usually the candidates themselves make an appearance to try to sway voters. Yet these parties cannot be officially affiliated with candidates because their costs would take huge bites out of each campaign’s $100 war chest. In the same vein, campaigns would be hard-pressed to pay for armbands for supporters to wear, mini CD-ROMs with informational videos about each candidate or other small giveaways like bottle openers or even stickers with such a small budget. With each 8 x 11 poster pegged...
