...industry paid out $1.6 billion more in liability claims than it received in premiums. Critics answer that this "underwriting loss" actually stems from the unusual accounting used in seeking higher rates. For one thing, the companies put aside a large portion of their premiums as "unearned reserves," count them as a nontaxed liability-and then invest them along with other reserves.

Evidently the clotting mechanism in his blood had been knocked out by the failure of his liver to produce the necessary enzymes. His platelets (tiny disklike elements in the blood, which are important in clotting) plummeted from a normal count of 250,000 per cu. mm. to 4,000. This required heroic measures. Kasperak had to have blood transfusions, and to remove metabolic wastes from his body the surgeons punched another hole in him-through the abdominal wall, for peritoneal dialysis. This is a process in which a solution is pumped...
Harvard showed the Bruins what to do with a man advantage when Bauer set himself up via Jack Garrity, 20 seconds after a Brown penalty at 13:15. Sophomore center Jack Turco upped the count to 6-2 at 16:30 with a well-placed 25-footer...
