For the four-day Thanksgiving weekend, the N.S.C. had predicted 625 to 725 traffic deaths; the final count was 542, down from 679 the year before.

On the day after the infusions, it rose to 7.17 min. Because the body quickly passes off excess red cells, the pickup was not permanent; within 14 days of the infusions, all students' performances returned to prebleeding levels. So far, no adverse side effects have been...
