...Pints for One. Most of the 812 blood banks enrolled in AABB are in hospitals, though some are community and private (but nonprofit) ventures. They collect more than 2,000,000 pints, mainly from family and friends of patients, but partly from paid donors who get an average of $15 a pint. Unlike the Red Cross, which exacts no more than pint-for-pint replacement, some hospital banks demand two pints for one. A common compromise is to take two pints for the patient's first transfusion pint, to cover waste and spoilage, and then accept pint for pint...
...while there is a marvelous incoherence to it all. The slobs and the ridiculously gorgeous girls they collect (Elsa Martinelli, Antonella Lualdi, Anna Maria Ferrero, Mylene Demongeot, Rosanna Schiaffino) flee through the city in a frantic chase sequence, with nothing after them except howling boredom. They start a fight, steal some money, drive somewhere, wreck a bar, help some urchins steal an airplane wing for scrap, impulsively bleed for a blood bank.

Du Pont hopes to collect damages for patent infringement and to force Celanese to stop producing Celcon...

His most important appointed officer, the Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, is in a position to collect the loose ends on each side of the "gulf." He must be "an extraordinarily able, energetic, and forceful leader, a lively colleague, a brilliant administrative officer, and a fine scholar-teacher," knows and respected by both faculty and administration. This sort of animal just does not exist in quantity around this university...
...Arsdale's electricians won a basic 25-hour week, shortest in U.S. industry. Actually, they will work 30 hours. But by being paid for five hours a day five days a week on straight time, plus an extra hour a day at time and a half, they will collect $161.20 a week. Previously, the construction electricians had worked six hours a day plus one required "overtime" hour, earned...
