Merner sliced by his opponents, 5-2 and 5-0, and once again showed incredible speed and technique. At one point, Merner staved off his SMU attacker by neatly stepping aside and darting his blade into his opponent's chest...
...thought as their Broncos' cheerleaders, the Pony Express, skittered onto the field in glittering t & a (for team spirit and ardent rah-rah-ing) costumes of halters, miniskirts, gloves and white vinyl boots. But wait. That cheerperson in the middle, wasn't she a little flat of chest and hairy of hide? No wonder. It was TV's Robin Williams (Mork & Mindy) filming for an upcoming sequence, Hold that Mork!

Harry's demise was less unexpected; the New York stockbroker, 49, had been suffering from angina pectoris, periodic attacks of severe chest pain, for several months before he died in his sleep. In both cases, doctors assumed the fatal attacks had been triggered by blood clots or atherosclerotic plaques clogging the pencil-thin arteries that supply oxygen-rich blood to heart muscle. But autopsies showed that the coronary arteries of both victims were...
...Coronary spasm may explain the infrequent incidents of chest pain and heart attack in premenopausal women, who rarely develop atherosclerosis. The spasm may cause blood to flow more slowly, thus allowing blood platelets to clump, clot and seal off the pathway...

Dr. Attilio Maseri reported that, while at the University of Pisa, he examined some 200 patients who suffered chest pains during periods of inactivity and who had varying degrees of atherosclerosis. He found that their chest pains were due to spasm. Said he: "Atherosclerotic narrowing of the vessels is the bystander rather than the culprit of angina in such patients." But, experts agree, a spasm that might merely hinder the flow of blood...
