Skimpy Second Aid. Many novices get hurt even before they hit the slopes. Though state safety codes have sharply reduced ski-lift mishaps, skiers manage to slip in icy parking lots, strain untrained muscles or fall off ski-lodge bar stools. One young woman recently hurt herself in the ski shop at Vail, Colo. Bending over to adjust the bindings on her rented skis, she ruptured her Achilles tendon and wound up in a cast for two months. Another girl suffered from annoying numbness in her legs whenever she skied. Dr. Arthur Ellison, a Williamstown, Mass., skier-orthopedist who runs...
Unfortunately, second aid is often lacking. A few areas, like Vermont's Mount Snow, maintain well-equipped mini-hospitals at the foot of their lift lines, where doctors can X-ray and set simple fractures. But all too often good treatment stops at the bottom of a run, and injured skiers must either gamble on local physicians or limp to a distant city hospital. A Manhattan woman nearly lost the use of one leg after a Vermont hospital botched a simple break. A New York orthopedist later saved the leg with a complex operation, but only this month...
...spend nearly every cent that present U.S. tax rates would bring in from an ideal, fully employed economy-far more than the Government has any chance of collecting from the underemployed economy that now exists. The hope is that the flow of dollars from Washington will sharply lift the economy out of the 1970 recession and put at least 1,000,000 jobless Americans back to work...
Nixon mentioned the aspirations of the young, the black and other minorities. In addition to his now familiar line about the "lift of a driving dream" (of which, incomprehensibly, the President seems very fond), he used some highly inspirational rhetoric. "We have gone through a long, dark night of the American spirit. But now that night is ending," he said at one point. Then, attempting to speak past Congress and align himself politically with a widespread feeling that runs from the radical right to the radical left, he made a curious, almost self-condemnatory statement. "Let's face...
Ancient Highlands. Apollo 14, scheduled to lift off on Sunday, Jan. 31, at 3:23 p.m. E.S.T., will head for the same hilly region near the crater Fra Mauro that was the target of its ill-fated predecessor. If all goes well, the Apollo 14 astronauts will become the first human visitors to the lunar highlands. There they may be able to recover rocks dating back to the birth of the moon, more than 4.5 billion years ago. The lunar landing maneuvers will differ in important details from the two previous successful manned lunar expeditions. For one thing, the command...
