Reassurance & Tranquilizers. Among a sampling of 88 patients who complained of painful gas, Dr. Danhof found that 25% had simply swallowed too much air. Some of these patients, suffering from anxiety, could not expel all the air by belching, and retained so much that it caused painful distention in the gastrointestinal tract. In these cases, said Dr. Danhof, the most effective treatment is reassurance, which may be reinforced with tranquilizers and accompanied by instructions to exhale completely before swallowing food or drink...
...Argentines weighed in with a giddy show, which includes Julio Le Fare's kinetics, David Tamelas' 20-ft-high minimal cubes, and poppish plastic nudes by Juan Carlos di Stefano so obscene that one local official threatened to expel them. Poland's Tadeus Kantor shows that the Iron Curtain has long since popped wide open with his portrait collage of a stuffed shirt (with shirt). France's Baldaccini Cesar took another of the ten minor prizes with his sculptures of Mobil Oil cans and plastic. He disdained it, snorting "Ask Pablo [Picasso], or Sartre, or Fidel...

The power of expulsion is lumped together in the Constitution with each chamber's right to "punish its members for disorderly behavior," suggesting that it is intended to protect the regular operation of each...
...eased if the Supreme Court simply chose to say that any exclusion based on constitutional qualifications would not be reviewable by the judiciary. The way would then be open for the House to find that Powell is not an inhabitant of New York State, or to admit and then expel him. Regardless of the justice of such action, Powell would have no recourse to the courts; but it would be harder to muster the required majority in the House for such a decision...
