...County, Mustang Air Service operates two Cessna 206s on the run between Las Vegas and Tonopah, making seven stops en route at bordellos like Cottontail Ranch. In addition to transporting Johns named Smith, "I fly the girls to and from the houses and take the doctor and the county health officer on regular Saturday inspection tours," says Blakemore. He performs other official functions, like fingerprinting the prostitutes in each brothel for the sheriff's office files. "This is a dirty, rotten business," he cheerfully admits. "There is no moral way to justify it. We're not trying...
Amantadine's effectiveness seems to be confined to the Asian A-2 strains of influenza virus. Last winter the U.S. Public Health Service, troubled by the drug's side effects, refused to approve its use against the newly emerging Hong Kong strain of A2. The stated reason was that its value had not been proved-though virologists complained at the Manhattan meeting that this was a disingenuous quibble. It could have been predicted, they said, that amantadine would prove as effective against the Hong Kong strain as it was against other...
Heavy Sentence. Negotiations finally began four weeks ago, but were kept secret, presumably to save face for the hospital management.

When ordinary verbal communication is partially impaired or breaks down entirely, as in the case of autistic children and schizophrenic adults, knowledge of man's nonverbal language can be an extremely useful analytical tool. By reading such unconscious gestures as movements of the fingers and hand, the Birmingham scientists point out, the psychiatrist is in a position to discover important new clues to the patient's inner turmoil. Even when the patient seems to be able to communicate verbally, a doctor...
...insure than men. While the women have more accidents per mile, their smashups are less serious and 20% less costly to settle. Women tend to clobber fence posts and rear bumpers; men often hit other cars head-on and at higher speeds. A separate survey by the World Health Organization made similar findings. Says Robert Pansard, a French safety official who participated in the WHO study: "Although women are perhaps more emotional, they do not possess the drive for power which often becomes aggressiveness in male drivers." They also do not drive as much at night or on dangerous rural...
