There are also reminders of the first encounters with that grisly ailment of the atomic age, so puzzling to its initial victims, known as radiation sickness. Among the early signs: nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, thirst, fever and diarrhea. By the second week, hair began to fall out, the gums became painfully swollen, the white-blood-cell count fell sharply. Severe exposure usually meant death. Lethal rays did not always come directly from the blasts. The explosions produced some 200 different isotopes, most of them radioactive, with varying half-lives. Days after the bombs fell, survivors were exposed...
After weeks of uncertainty and pessimism, the Agostino Gemelli Polyclinic in Rome had some good news. Its famous patient, Pope John Paul II, had finally conquered a lingering infection and fever and was well enough for a long-delayed second operation. In what was termed a "perfectly successful" procedure, Gemelli doctors reconnected segments of the Pontiffs colon, a simple operation that reversed the intestinal bypass surgery performed last May after the attempt on his life.

...fans. "They may have a negative reaction during the first few days," says Cleveland Infielder Alan Bannister. "But once baseball gets going again, things will get back to normal."

Especially now, when the prevailing wedding fever seems to have raised the public temperature way past lukewarm. Indeed, a survey published last week in the liberal Guardian showed that a resounding 76% of those polled felt the advantages of the monarchy outweigh its costs (estimated at a yearly $25 million) and that 67% considered that the big bundle...
Congressional critics, though, blame the Reagan Administration for creating a new atmosphere that encourages merger fever. The President appointed William Baxter, a Stanford law professor who firmly believes in the virtues of large-scale enterprises unfettered by excessive Government regulation, to be his antitrust chief in the Justice Department. Baxter's boss, Attorney General William French Smith, succinctly stated the new Adminstration's philosophy in an oft-quoted speech before the District of Columbia Bar. Said Smith: "Bigness in business is not necessarily badness. Efficient firms should not be hobbled under the guise of antitrust enforcement...
