...respiratory and genital tracts of perhaps one out of three people. Under certain conditions -- a wound, some infections, the presence of a tampon or contraceptive sponge -- the bacteria multiply. If the toxin-producing strain is present, such proliferation can lead to TSS. The symptoms are dramatic and develop quickly: high fever, a sunburn-like rash, severe vomiting and diarrhea, culminating in shock, in which blood pressure plummets and circulation deteriorates. Doctors usually try to head off this life-threatening condition by administering intravenous fluids with electrolytes, and sometimes drugs to restore blood pressure...
...been staged that the show could be subtitled "101 Ways to Remake Vertigo." But Shepherd, as the straitlaced ice queen, and Willis, as the wisecracking clod-with-a- heart-of-gold, are a screen team to treasure. Despite some straining this season, the writers have managed to deepen and develop their relationship without losing the comic fizz. And no other series takes more chances. The actors frequently step out of character for asides to the camera, and the show may break completely from format on a whim. One of this season's episodes featured a seven-minute Gene Kellyesque dance...
Long before neighboring India detonated its first and only "peaceful nuclear explosion" in 1974, Pakistan's then President Zulfikar Ali Bhutto vowed that his nation would develop the capacity to make atomic weapons even if the effort required its citizens to "eat grass." Bhutto did not live to make good on that pledge. But the man who deposed him and ordered his execution, Mohammed Zia ul-Haq, took it just as seriously. Last week, after years of doubtful claims that Pakistan's nuclear research program was not aimed at building weapons, Zia acknowledged with surprising candor that his country...
...executed so as to pose no threat to the free speech of others. The University has an obligation to defend the rights to free speech not only of Mr. Kent-Brown but also of those who oppose his views. In this case they did neither. In order to develop a policy that would accomplish these ends, Harvard must decide not to act rashly but to consider the stated intent and the observed actions of the protesters. In this case that intent was consistently articulated before, during, and after the event...
...none of these forces, as last week's action dramatically demonstrated, has repressed the urge to merge. Despite tax reform and rising stock prices, it is still cheaper to buy factories and offices than build them and easier to acquire new products than develop them. Modest interest rates, which are near ten-year lows, continue to make borrowing for takeovers relatively painless. Moreover, many dealmakers may be anxious to take advantage of the last two years of the Reagan Administration, which has been especially tolerant of huge mergers...
