...also be useful in the treatment of asthma; inhalation of the drug dilates bronchial passages in the lungs. One problem with this treatment is that the smoke from marijuana cigarettes sometimes disturbs delicate lung tissue. For this reason, doctors are now considering the desirability of administering THC in aerosol form to asthma patients. Other uses have been recently suggested, though they require further study. Cannabis is an anti-convulsant which may be useful in treating epileptic attacks. It may be able to replace more dangerous drugs, such as barbiturates, in the treatment of insomnia. The drug's analgesic, preanesthetic...
Along with other U.S. makers, Andros has petitioned the Government for some sort of relief, in the form of either import quotas or higher tariffs. But CB sets were not covered by the U.S.-Japan trade agreement signed in Tokyo last week by Special Trade Representative Robert Strauss. Moreover, such restrictions are opposed by other firms in the industry like Fort Worth-based Tandy Corp., which imports large numbers of CB radios and sells them through its Radio Shack retail outlets...
Beautiful sound and color are what Horowitz is really all about.

In light of the letter "official Harvard" sends these students, the minority recruiters say their own letter is a duplication of efforts...
...until 1933 that a virus was identified as the cause of flu and dubbed influenza A. In 1946-47 another form of A emerged, and about this time virologists working with electron microscopes made an important discovery. They found that the outer coat of each virus particle is studded with hundreds of protein spikes. There are two types: hemagglutinin, a biochemical glue that makes red cells clump together and helps the virus get into cells, and an enzyme called neuraminidase that dissolves the glue and helps the virus get out of cells. These spikes are also the antigenic proteins that...
