...risks involved in the project itself, but in the Corporation's fear of repeating its mistakes in the recent building of a generator for the medical facilities where, due to what must have been indescribable inefficiency, the final cost of the facilities was well over 100 percent in excess of estimated and projected costs. If hesitancy to take all risks in the future as a result of that experience in the past means that Harvard will stop expanding its facilities--the stagnation of its future is more horrible to contemplate than the mistakes of its past...

...Clarendon Court that two murder attempts were supposedly made. The prosecution alleges that in December of 1979 and again in December of 1980, Von Bülow gave his wife, who suffered from chronic low blood sugar, shots of insulin, the hormone that helps metabolize sugar.

...women weight watchers, the battle of the bulge is often lost at the hips. No matter how they exercise, excess pounds seem to pile up there and at the buttocks and thighs. But at last there seems to be some compensation for the pear-shaped. (No, not another grapefruit diet.) According to Dr. Ahmed Kissebah of the Medical College of Wisconsin, overweight women whose body fat is concentrated below the waist run a relatively low risk of contracting diabetes, a frequently serious disease that disrupts the normal metabolism of sugar into energy and afflicts one out of 20 Americans. Conversely...
White's technology often seems creaky, partly because he was a pioneer. Modern sci-fi doomsdayers would never predict the end of the world from an excess of radio waves, or have radial-engine Curtiss Condor transports symbolize the overreach of the air age. Even so, White was always among the first to discern the now familiar signs and portents: ecological disturbances, the decline of various species, the discovery that last year's medical boons may lead to tomorrow's degenerative diseases, the horrors of a mindless but ubiquitous visual press, and the debilitating result of trying...
