...battle to the point of simultaneous total collapse, thus ending it all. It doesn't exactly have the ring of eternal truth; but in printing things like Cockburn's column and "Previews of Coming Disasters," the Voice has arrived at the kind of coherent editorial tone, consistent with the flow of daily news, that Harper's and Esquire are still only groping toward...
...causing fluid to accumulate behind the heart, in the lungs and extremities. In either case, the result will be the same: a heart attack that can cripple or kill its victim. In a chicken-and-egg situation, high blood pressure can also trigger complex mechanisms that will reduce blood flow to the kidneys. That, in turn, reduces the capacity of the kidneys to help rid the body of its waste material, and the kidneys themselves may eventually fail...

That pressure also causes the cuff to press against the brachial artery, stopping the flow of blood. The doctor, his stethoscope pressed against the patient's forearm, knows that the flow has ceased when he can no longer hear the heartbeat. At that point, he slowly releases the air from the cuff. As pressure drops, the mercury column begins to descend; the cuff loosens, and blood begins...

The relatively high turnover of illegal spaces in Harvard Square indicates that most of the need is for shortterm spaces. Illegal parking on streets is not only disruptive of vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian flow but to many it is a source of visual blight...
