...vain to depose him. Perhaps the best explanation for Carson's durability comes from the King himself. "If I had given as much to marriage as I gave to the Tonight show," he told the Los Angeles Times, "I'd probably have a hell of a marriage. But the fact is I haven't given that, and there you have the simple reason for the failure of my marriages. I put the energy into the show...
...that doctors suffer from a shortage of certain essential information. Despite the proliferation of medical reports and journals, there are few statistics on the comparative results of clinical procedures. And there is no comprehensive national collection of data concerning what treatments work best for what kind of patients. In fact, relatively little systematic research has been done on the "outcomes" of patients' treatment -- whether they get better or worse, live...

According to Ballard, the battleship, which lies 15,000 ft. below the surface, is intact, upright and "in an excellent state of preservation" -- a remarkable fact considering that more than 300 shells and torpedoes were fired into the Bismarck by its Royal Navy attackers. Ballard says he does not plan to salvage the Bismarck. Last week he refused to provide the exact coordinates of the wreck's location, declaring that he wishes the sunken vessel...
