...from a more intensive study in one of the institutions associated with the University of Alabama's medical center. He found that hospitals and doctors frequently slight nutritional needs. Some institutions allow surgery to be performed without first building patients up for the ordeal, then compound the error after the operation by ignoring good nutrition and relying solely on antibiotics to guard against infection. All too often, the postoperative neglect continues until the patient reaches an advanced state of malnutrition. Of 80 patients studied at the University of Alabama, 14 were hospitalized for more than three weeks without receiving...
Jail Tunnel. The results, starting with Westlake's The Fugitive Pigeon in 1965, have brought new life to a neglected subgenre: the caper novel. In The Spy in the Ointment (1966), a typographical error on an FBI list caused a pacifist to become mixed up with bomb-throwing subversives.

After an infield error and a sacrifice, an easy fly ball to center-fielder Leon Goetz turned a routine jam into a disaster. Goetz dropped the ball for the inning's second error, then picked it up and threw to relay man Rick LaCivita. Catcher Dan Williams couldn't find the handle on LaCivita's perfect strike to the plate and Northern Colorado had a two-run stake...
...Crimson scratched out two single runs in the sixth and seventh innings on an RBI base hit from third-baseman Jim Thomas and a N.C. throwing error. But a what-might-have-been six-hit shutout from O'Malley was already in the loss column...
