...days, so monetary questions will also be secondary, even if, as one U.S. official warned, "there is almost certain to be turbulence in the money markets later this year." And with the industrial economies themselves newly threatened by the energy crunch, there is bound to be little enthusiasm for fresh initiatives toward the developing countries in the name of the North-South dialogue...
...problem in most juvenile diabetics is that the insulin-producing cells within the pancreas, called the islets of Langerhans, are no longer functioning properly.

Too many network shows are devoted almost entirely to exploring new dimensions of imbecility. That seems an old and boringly elitist criticism of TV, but it acquires fresh force, even urgency, if one sits through a few hours of Supertrain, The Ropers and The $1.98 Beauty Show...
