What causes alcoholics to develop cirrhosis and other frequently fatal liver diseases? Many doctors, noting the tendency of alcoholics to drink more than they eat, believe that poor nutrition plays a key role. But two researchers from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine and the Bronx Veterans Hospital in New York now claim that it is drink alone that does the damage. A four-year study has convinced them that even in the well-nourished, alcohol can be lethal to the liver...
...Miles, the Miles who claims the influence of Sly Stone--and owing to their own ambitions and Miles's idiosyncracies, have since gone out on their own. The result is a music of distinct generations, like later San Francisco rock. But unlike those rock bands, who finally managed to develop reasonably unique personae, Miles's offspring have retained, in varying degrees, their mentor's stamp. Miles, when he talks to anybody, tends to grab inspirational credit (at the very least) for himself. How much more credit he deserves is debatable. But let Ralph J. Gleason sum up the whole question...
Picking up a pointer, Bolt explained a large chart that presented the panel's findings in graphic form. A principal technique used in arriving at their conclusions, he noted, was to develop the tape "in a sense that you develop a picture." A fluid containing magnetically sensitized particles was rubbed over the tape. The particles arranged themselves in conformity to magnetic imprints previously induced on the tape by electronic signals in the original recording and erasing processes. Thus the imprints could be seen with the naked eye and photographed. Bolt also noted that the signals had been analyzed by oscilloscope...
...closing should help protect citizens of Tyler from any further risk of contracting asbestosis. But it will do little to help those already exposed to the asbestos dust. Asbestosis and related cancers may not develop until 30 years after exposure to the particles, but once they do, they are painful and often fatal. "He hurt with every breath he took, because his lungs were torn and scarred on the inside from breathing asbestos fibers," said Mrs. Robert Thomas of her husband, who died five months...
Skipped Sleep. It was a numerologist who made the somewhat mysterious suggestion that "Klara Barlow" would suit her better professionally than her own name, Alma Williams. She made her New York recital debut in 1954. Critics were enthusiastic, but her career did not develop. By 1961, twice divorced and with a nine-year-old daughter to support, she headed for Europe. In minor German opera houses she at last found regular work. And loneliness. "The towns are gray, and Germans stick to themselves," she says. "You have only your colleagues and new roles...
