...Geronimo's hostile Apache signal fires glinting from the hills), Hayden would be 97 when the term expired, and might have some difficulty appealing to the thousands of young, newly arrived Arizonans. Last week, however, the view was to the past rather than the future, and few could help but marvel at a man who has been a member of 28 Congresses and watched ten different tenants occupy the large house at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue...
From experts, Schaub got all the help he needed on the obscure pharmacodynamical properties of succinylcholine chloride. As an anesthesiologist, Coppolino had had the opportunity to use it frequently on surgery patients to relax their muscles. Schaub proved to the jurors that it was also used on Carmela, injected into her left buttock in such massive dosage that it paralyzed and within minutes killed her.

Barely 24 hours later, Komarov was dead, killed in a crash landing that may ground the Russian man-in-space program for months...
...Ophthalmologist Dan M. Gordon reports that he used DMSO to treat swollen, waterlogged corneas, conjunctivitis and inflammation of other eye-related tissues. In many cases, results were excellent; in none could DMSO be blamed for any lens changes. One of the most distressing conditions that DMSO seemed to help was Hunner's ulcer, an inflammation of the bladder causing painful urination as often as every ten minutes. No other generally effective medical treatment is known. But any urologist now giving DMSO directly into the bladder is liable to FDA punitive action...
