In manic-depressives, glucose seems to burn at a very high rate during the manic phase. (No pattern has been found for the depressive phase.) People with senile dementia show decreased glucose metabolism; the more advanced the case, the lower the activity. Researchers also plan to use PET for biochemical brain portraits of patients with multiple sclerosis, Huntington's chorea and possibly alcoholism...

Soviet diplomats in Western Europe have been circulating the same message in their private conversations. Said one senior official at the Soviet embassy in Bonn: "The point has been reached when it is a waste of time to negotiate [with Solidarity]. It's time to get tough...
