Completely successful by contrast was the mouth-to-mouth method, in which the victim is placed on his back, mouth cleared of all foreign matter, while the rescuer leans down from the side. The rescuer raises the chin of the patient with one hand, forcing open the jaw with his thumb, holds the nose with his other hand. He then blows hard and fast, inflating the victim's lungs, stops when the chest rises so that the lungs can automatically deflate. The cycle is repeated at a rate of 20 inflations per minute until revival. For even more efficient...
...question was whether they had improved enough to show a leveling off in the recession. To some economists, both amateur and professional, they had not. The normal seasonal increase in employment between February and March is 500,000 and the normal decline in unemployment about 200,000. By contrast, the March figures showed only a 323,000 increase in employment while unemployment actually edged up another 25,000. To some thoughtful experts, an equally important question is: Should the employment figures be used for hairline appraisals of the U.S. economy? The answer is no. Employment statistics are not intended...
...Georgian Lezghinka; Spring Dances from the Ukrainian Suite, which opens with a slow, weaving dance evocation of the melancholy a Ukrainian girl feels when her lover leaves for the front, ends with a bravura blaze of tremendous Gopak leaps as the lover returns triumphant to the village. In contrast with scenes more or less mirroring Soviet life, there are evocations of the past such as Khorumi, a heroic dance on themes of war and the hunt, performed in Georgia in the 12th century...
...declare a unilateral test ban of its own. In St. Louis, Washington University's left-leaning Physicist Edward U. Condon predicted that because of radioactive fallout from tests "many thousands of persons in the world will suffer agonizing death from bone cancer and leukemia." In Lausanne, Switzerland, by contrast, a nine-nation scientific-medical conference on bomb-test hazards announced the finding that fallout radioactivity "has no practical importance compared with natural radiation [and does not] constitute a danger to the health of mankind...
...return to light work within anywhere from five to 30 days, and to heavy work within seven to 60 days. The range was even wider after repair of a groin hernia in men over 50: from seven to 84 days for light work, 20 to 180 for heavy. By contrast, patients in the Air Force zoomed back into the wild blue yonder only 13 days (average) after appendectomy, 17 days after hernia repair. Naval recruits went back to the full rigors of boot training only nine to 32 days after hernia surgery. Pro football players (Philadelphia Eagles) have returned...
