...patient's blood pressure to very low levels, anesthesiologists can lessen the amount of blood lost and give the surgeon an almost clear field in which to work. This is particularly useful in surgery on vessels that carry blood to the brain and in orthopedic operations like hip implants. The anesthesiologist anesthetizes the patient, then infuses a drug, usually nitroprusside, to dilate the blood vessels. This causes the pressure of blood against the vessel walls to drop from a normal reading of, say, 120/80 to as low as 65/50. The anesthesiologist must be careful that enough blood continues flowing...
...point she tried a hand-on-hip flounce. As photographers lunged and snapped, she winked at the audience, grimaced wildly and, with eyes rolling toward the ceiling, indicated that she felt like a bit of an idiot. Awkward or not, she kept the onlookers on her side. She bore no resemblance to the young passionflower her merchandisers have hinted she is. But her giddy height and her astonishing face, with its hawk-wing eyebrows, deep blue eyes and full lips too fine for banalities or bubble gum, gave her what watchers have always known she had, a rare order...
Another key member of the commission is Ana Guadalupe Martinez, a hardening revolutionary who became El Salvador's best-known guerrilla commandante after she posed for a propaganda poster with a rifle cocked on her hip.

...Came from Within, Rabid, The Brood and now Scanners, Cronenberg, 37, has joined the estimable company of John Carpenter and George Romero as a low-budget mahatma of the macabre. Like Carpenter's The Fog and Romero's Dawn of the Dead, Cronenberg's movies are hip parables of contemporary moral malaise, in which ordinary people are infected by a malignancy as invisible and pervasive as the most swinish flu virus. As his vision aged, like rancid fruit, the malignancy crept closer to home. In They Came from Within, it was a small, snouty bug, transmitted from...
Jimmy Carter also flew home last week, to make plans for his own transition. In Plains he visited his mother, who is recuperating from a hip injury, and cleared out her house in town, which he will rent for less than $250 a month, to use as his office. Unlike Reagan. Carter departed with no get-off quip, but Mondale, who plans to join a Washington law firm, had an exit line that elicited a response any vaudevillian would envy...
