Such doubts do not trouble ABC News President William Sheehan and the network's top brass. They are counting on Walters to inject a measure of prestige and cash into their sagging news operation. Among the three networks, ABC has long been known as the Triangle Shirtwaist factory-meaning sweatshop-of television journalism. ABC spends about $44 million a year on its evening news (v. about $47 million each for CBS and NBC). The network has fewer correspondents than its rivals and is thought to pay them less. In a poll of 78 television editors, critics and columnists...
...there was "nothing wrong with ethnic purity being maintained" in neighborhoods. Carter replied that he wholeheartedly supports open-housing laws that make it a crime to refuse to sell or rent a house or apartment on the grounds of race, color or creed. But he opposes Government programs "to inject black families into a white neighborhood just to create some sort of integration." Said he: "I have nothing against a community that is made up of people who are Polish, or who are Czechoslovakians, or who are French Canadians or who are blacks trying to maintain the ethnic purity...
...other types of cancer who develop aplastic anemia because of their anticancer therapy. The strategy of Teddy's doctors was to give him transfusions of red blood cells and platelets to keep him alive, plus hormones and other drugs to stimulate bone-marrow activity (it is impractical to inject patients regularly with normal white cells both because white cells ordinarily live only a short time and because the patient quickly develops toxic reactions). Teddy, it was hoped, would be protected from infection by the superclean room until his bone marrow revived. Judging from earlier cases, the doctors optimistically expected...
...bankruptcy of formalist criticism, the depth of its need for some reference to human values, is indicated by the eagerness with which the critical establishment has embraced the work of Harold Bloom. Bloom appears to inject some authentic excitement into criticism--his poets are animated by powerful emotions of anxiety, love and rebellion, but directed exclusively toward other poets. In this baroque system, the task of the critic is to celebrate the Oedipal process through which a poet matures by distorting and misreading his predecessors. The result is T.S. Eliot stood upside-down--instead of the artist's effacing...
...brain death, Karen's case would not quite fit because of her slight brain activity and occasional spontaneous breathing. To cut off life support now might therefore fall within the area of euthanasia. In outright cases of euthanasia-"when someone is suffering from a terminal disease and you inject a drug to terminate life," as Dr. Winter puts it -the law demands a verdict of intentional homicide. But on the question of a doctor shutting off a life-supporting machine and permitting a patient to die, the law is largely silent. This is considered a mere "act of omission...
