...Health Organization estimates that 75% of the Rh-negative women in Britain now receive the vaccine. But in Italy, the vaccine is now given to only 30%, while in Venezuela, only 5% of Rh-negative mothers get the shots. Even in the U.S., where 85% are now protected, the gap is still significant. Only half of the women now undergoing abortions receive Rh immune globulin after their operations...

Math Ar prepares students for calculus and prepares students for sciences that require facility in algebra, trig, etc. As far as medical schools are concerned, with very rare exceptions among those schools requiring calculus per se, Math Ar is sufficient to fulfill half of the premed math requirement. As a course, it has status with any other; it is offered for credit; and it is perhaps more conscientiously taught than other math courses. Students are sometimes...
