...killed him. Nothing could be more harrowing than descriptions of Keats's final weeks in Rome. When he coughed up two cupfuls of blood one morning, the doctor felt obliged to bleed him two cups more "to relieve inflammation." Then he was put on a starvation diet of "one anchovy and a morsel of bread a day." As a medical student, Keats knew long before this that he was as good as dead anyway. He struggled to make his death easier for Joseph Severn, the kind but ineffectual painter who nursed him. Severn had never seen anyone die. Keats...
...other egg, but there was a difference. The new egg was, as the ads proclaimed, a "one-to-one balanced egg." And what in Henny Penny's name is that? Well, it is an egg that contains equal parts of saturated and polyunsaturated fats. To millions of diet-conscious, supersaturated Americans, that means plenty...
Happy Results. The second season of the park's Rebekah Harkness Foundation Dance Festival conclusively proved what its first had plainly suggested-that the Manhattan dance audience is as vast as it is eager to improve its slender diet. Conceived just last year as a $15,000, six-day experiment, the program was nourished along this year with a $39,500 grant from the Harkness Foundation, and was expanded to fill the "dark" Monday nights of the park's Shakespeare Festival.

Once revived, the mother-to-be, the common-law wife of an oilfield worker, was tucked into bed at Maracaibo's University Hospital, put on a strict diet, and watched around the clock by doctors and nurses. During the delivery, she was conscious and calm. "At least let out a yelp," pleaded one nurse, "so we know you are having a baby." Her tiny boys arrived over a period of 50 minutes, two months premature and weighing from...
Higher & Higher. It would be helpful, indeed, if the Nunamiuts could change their diet, but in the bleak Brooks Range there is almost nothing but caribou to eat, and any kind of agriculture is impossible. The Eskimos could be fed on handouts of white men's food, which would destroy their self-sufficiency and probably their health, or they could be moved elsewhere. They do not relish either prospect. Says Simon Paneak, head of the village council: "We only know how to live here." Though he remains close kin to Stone Age man, he understands the problems of radiation...
