...persuasive of the leitmotif of his '68 : "Nixon's the One!" He may not be the want, but he is the one you're with. At --writing a piece on the first anniversary State was one of my own--the Nixon affliction seems to threaten to worsen from the chronic to the malignantly permanent...
Many experts believe that deficits have been pushed perilously close to their manageable limit, and that if they continue, chronic inflation is certain to flare up. Says Alan Greenspan, a member of TIME'S Board of Economists: "The budget has begun to get substantially out of control...
...Dreyer developed in a career that spanned nearly the whole development of film technique (1919-1964) yet produced only fourteen feature-length films.

Shevlin suffers from chronic kidney disease, an incurable type that necessitated the removal of the organ.

The success rate for transplantation of kidneys from live donors is around 70%, while that for operations using cadaver kidneys is almost 50%. The cost of a new kidney is a bargain of sorts: a maximum of $25,000, or about one year's worth of in-hospital dialysis. Unfortunately, the supply of donor kidneys is far smaller than the demand...
