...Through The Morning is about fifty percent hard core country music, expertly performed. Doug Dillard comes from a family of bluegrass musicians and plays banjo, fiddle and guitar more than competently. David Jackson, bass, piano, and cello, scales down the harshness of the other instruments: and Jon Corneal (drums) gives the music the rhythmic patterns of rock. Sneaky Pete, listed as a "Special Picker," plays a very fine steel guitar, sometimes mimicking Clark's mouthharp or the piano, sometimes taking the role of lead guitar...
...drugs are recognized as highly effective against specific viral diseases: idoxuridine (IUDR) for corneal infections caused by the fever-blister virus, and methisazone against smallpox. What exercised the virologists most last week was a third chemical, amantadine, an anti-influenza drug that the Food and Drug Administration has licensed, but under strict controls. Trade-named Sym-metrel by E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., amantadine does not cure a fullblown case of flu. But it may prevent infection if taken before exposure, and mitigate the illness if taken early enough afterward. The trouble with amantadine is that...
Lately, however, questions have arisen about possible long-range effects of Chemical Mace. A San Francisco ophthalmologist, Lawrence Rose, has squirted it at close range into one eye of each of three rabbits, whose eye structure is biologically similar to that of humans; he has caused permanent corneal scarring in one.* In Ann Arbor, Mich., the face of a Negro who was sprayed last March is still partially depigmented; Ann Arbor police have discontinued using the weapon. A Columbus reporter, Robert Mac Vicar, who was Maced in the face during Ohio State University demonstrations last fall, is suing...
...herpesvirus-can also attack the surface of the eye; if unchecked, it can do damage that will scar the cornea, resulting in partial or complete blindness. The best treatment has hitherto proved successful in only 60% of cases, and the disease ranks as the commonest infection causing corneal scarring. Faced with cases that seemed beyond help, Dr. Bellows decided to try a cryoprobe chilled to a temperature...
...basement when pumps failed, finally reached a level of H in. Police, firemen and volunteers rushed dry ice to hospitals to keep stored blood from spoiling, sent generators to those that needed them, rigged electrical heart-pacer machines to auxiliary power, and hand-pumped iron lungs. A delicate corneal transplant, a five-hour craniotomy, and a caesarean section were performed under light from makeshift sources; five dozen babies were delivered...
