...work at a stretch. Residents, urged the committee, should work no more than 16 consecutive hours in ordinary, inpatient care, and no more than twelve hours in the emergency room. In today's high-tech environment, said Axelrod, "the opportunity to do good as well as to do harm is increasing. I don't know that someone who is semisomnolent can make the judgments required...
...strolling during his London vacation, an ex-Marine named Jack Ryan hears an explosion and sees a Rolls-Royce disabled by the blast. Armed men approach the car, clearly intending harm to its passengers. Ryan singlehanded puts a stop to this nefariousness, suffering a shoulder wound in the process.

Meanwhile, Washington found itself in the humiliating position of pleading with its European allies to send minesweepers...

We are not all-powerful or infallible. The Crimson is the only paper which insists on belaboring the unfortunate accidents PBH has been involved in this summer, and their unwillingness to allow fellow students to do their work unscandalized is inexplicable. At a time when Oliver North is an American...
