They give their patients two sedative drugs, promethazine and pethidine (a synthetic equivalent of morphine), to keep them in a light sleep for one to seven days; the average has been 2½ days. Nurses wake the patient three times a day for hygiene, to take liquid food, and to do leg exercises designed to prevent clot formation...
...containing a short-lived nerve agent were fired off in an area 27 miles inside Dugway's limits. Later that afternoon, 160 gal. of a more stable nerve agent were destroyed by fire in a disposal training exercise about 19 miles inside the proving grounds. Finally, a nerve liquid was sprayed from a jet aircraft traveling at high speed. But the spray had stayed well within Dugway's limits, said the Army experimenters...

...facilities for leisure, such as bowling alleys and coffeehouses. Pravda somewhat lamely exhorted the growing number of bored workers, who tend to get on each other's nerves when thrown together for two days, to "mobilize their own inventiveness." So far, much of the leisure has been liquid. According to an article in Literaturnaya Gazeta, the first effect of the new work week was a 25% jump in Moscow vodka sales...
