...administration of the Woodrow Wilson School, this trend must seem a slap in the face. Here they have set up a training program in public affairs, and the trainees go around saying, in effect, that it's not what it's cracked...
Internal Bleeding. Ulcer patients have long been known to be susceptible to internal bleeding after taking aspirin, but this was assumed to result from what was, in effect, an overdose only for their sensitive stomachs. Not necessarily, two researchers now report in the British Medical Journal. Dr. Desmond Croft and Dr. Philip H. N. Wood gave ordinary doses-the equivalent of twelve aspirins a day for one to four weeks-to 226 people who had no ulcers or any other "stomach trouble." All but nine suffered at least minor bleeding from their stomach walls into the intestines...
...dose is so strong, Dr. Klein told the Medical Society of the State of New York, that it even shows up cancers too minute to be detected by other means. Thus it makes prevention possible by revealing places where precancerous cell changes have just begun. The basis for this effect is not yet understood, but it is being investigated at other cancer centers where the treatment is being tested...
...doing clinical investigation at Johns Hopkins University, tested four ingredients in widely used analgesics, alone and in combination. He reported in The Lancet that healthy volunteers who took ten aspirin tablets a day began to excrete damaged kidney cells, reflecting at least temporary kidney injury. Surprisingly, this effect was less marked with APCs. It was also less conspicuous when he tested phenacetin alone, and still less so with medicinal caffeine...
...measures have had the desired cooling effect-and then some. In West Germany, industrial production rose by only 1.7% in all of 1966, and not at all in the last three months of the year. With business investment declining sharply, German unemployment jumped to 673,000 (or 3.1%) this month v. 269,000 a year ago. In Great Britain, moreover, the government's austerity program did not prevent the cost of living from soaring to an alltime high in mid-January. The British and German slowdowns have complicated the efforts of other European countries to steer their troubled economies...
