...Johns Hopkins team, says Dr. James R. Jude, has perfected just such a portable defibrillator. It weighs only 45 lbs., can be powered by dry cells or a car battery. Through electrodes applied to the skin, one below the throat and one below the left nipple, the compact machine delivers 2,000 to 2,200 volts in a one-two pulse-first in one direction, then in the other. When a heart-disease patient or an electric-shock victim has a fibrillation attack, says Dr. Jude, first-aid methods (chest massage and mouth-to-mouth breathing) must be used promptly...
...since he defected in Paris from the Kirov Ballet company of Leningrad (TIME, June 23, 1961).

Khrushchev himself seems to have drawn the lesson of these events. Said he last July in his native village of Kalinovka: "We have carried out a great revolution to give the people the good things of life. If these things are not available, people will say: 'What...
...easy to discount these weaknesses. Chris and Bitte Rawson's new translation gives a solid idiomatic script that never sounds awkward. Stephen Tucker has designed a brilliant, extremely compact set: the costumes and music are admirable. Babe has directed a Ghost Sonata that is a capable and striking rendition of Strindberg's fantasies and obsessions...
