...population was taken to higher ground in outlying areas. Upstream at Mercedes (pop. 10,081), frantic crews dumped twelve-ton bales of car bodies into the gap at the broken weir, but the arroyo swallowed everything with hardly a gulp, and downstream the tide climbed inexorably. Then liquid fingers poked through a levee north of Harlingen, sending a second spearhead of water toward the heart of town. Surrounded, isolated, exhausted, Harlingen was engulfed...
...family not on welfare could have and still be rated as "medically needy." Oklahoma set it at a low, low $2,448 for a family of four. In most states the amount ranged between $3,000 and $4,000, with an infinite variety of limitations as to what cash, liquid assets, equity in a car, and life insurance the family might be allowed to keep. California, though it set the four-member family income limit at a median $3,900, offered an estimated 2,500,000 eligibles every conceivable health service that HEW would approve...
...Center. The process begins the minute that the blood is donated to the center. Tubes of sample blood go to the laboratory for high-speed analysis and typing. Centrifuges separate out various blood components; the red cells, with glycerol added to prevent ice-crystal formation, are flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen at -320° F. Stored at this same temperature in thin stainless-steel flasks, they will keep for years. Says the center's Biochemist Arthur W. Rowe, who developed the technique: "We have taken a long step toward ending the tyranny of the 21 days...
...transfusions are in the form of fractions. The center already keeps in stock, on the average, several hundred units of whole blood, up to 1,000 of frozen red cells and up to 1,500 of clotting factors. When the center completes its frozen-storage space, for which liquid nitrogen will be delivered like fuel oil through a sidewalk hose hole, it expects to keep regularly on hand 10,000 units of various kinds...
...increases announced over the past several weeks. Since the beginning of August, higher prices have been posted in film, trucks, lumber, aluminum sheet, color TV sets, rubber tires and many electrical appliances. Hardly a day goes by without new rises in one chemical or another. Last week it was liquid chlorine (used in bleaches, paper, textiles) and glycerine (paint, explosives), which got an average 3% price boost by Dow Chemical...
