...long prison terms. Then the responsibility for the trials passed to West German courts, which have sometimes handed down lenient jail sentences that have outraged foreign opinion. By 1968, 6,192 war criminals had been convicted in West Germany. Another 16,000 to 18,000 alleged war criminals either await trial or are under investigation. Many might have escaped prosecution altogether if the statute of limitations had been allowed to stand. In addition, there are an estimated 17,000 undetected war criminals still at large in West Germany...
Joined by a few radical professors, S.D.S. organized a huge rally in the Cornell fieldhouse, at which 6,000 whites threatened to stage their own demonstrations. Black leaders flatly refused to reopen talks with either administration or faculty, and student opinion seemed to be swinging to their side. In a wild eruption of demagoguery, Black Senior Tom Jones shouted: "Cornell has only one hour to live!" In the past, he cried, "it's been the blacks who did all the dying. Now's the time when the pigs are going to die. James Perkins is going...
...work. He was soon able to have them made up in steel rather than wood, and the games became more diabolical.

But De Maria designed it with microphones at either end, which-in theory at least-could be hooked up to an amplifying system. Thus the "ping" of the ball would be amplified 50 times, and the viewer-listener who wanted to roll the ball back and forth could go deaf...
...coagulability of blood and therefore the risk of clot formation. British researchers have shown that women under 40 risk a clotting problem that is seven to nine times greater than the minuscule risk among nonpregnant women of the same age not on the Pill. Clots may form in either superficial or deep veins of the legs (thrombophlebitis), and may travel to the lungs, causing pulmonary embolism, which carries a high death rate. Or they may form in the brain, causing strokes. There are also a few cases in which a myriad minute clots have blocked circulation in the heart...
...LIVER. If a woman has had pregnancies marked by either jaundice or pruritus (diffuse itching), she should not go on the Pill, suggests Dr. Robert A. Hartley of Baltimore. Both these conditions result from impaired liver function, and the Pill is likely to reproduce the effects of pregnancy. Some gynecologists, however, believe the Pill is safe if the woman has had infectious hepatitis and has fully recovered from her jaundice...
