...months, he declared, ''You probably have hepatitis. There is a lot of it going around in this detention house. I'll examine a specimen of your blood.'' I was astonished. Any ignoramus would know that I had bronchitis, possibly verging on pneumonia, not hepatitis, an inflammation of the liver with symptoms entirely different from mine. What sort of ''doctor'' was this? When I looked at him through the small window, I saw a country lad, no more than 20 years of age, in a soldier's uniform.

DIED. Bobby Layne, 59, fiercely competitive, party-loving Pro Hall of Fame quarterback who led the Detroit Lions to National Football League championships in 1952, 1953 and 1957 and set unsurpassed team records before finishing his 15-year career with the Pittsburgh Steelers; after a long bout with liver problems, and cancer; in Lubbock, Texas.

...love the bacchanalian decadence of the college drinking scene. But let’s have no illusions about our behavior. Alcohol is a dangerous drug. It’s a depressant; it’s carcinogenic; it leads to reckless and potentially deadly behavior; it causes brain and liver damage. Marijuana, on the other hand, is relatively harmless. As studies have shown, there is no conclusive evidence that it causes cancer or a significant decline in cognitive functioning. Nor does it necessarily lead to dangerous behavior. Media claims that adolescent marijuana use leads to schizophrenia are hyperbolic at best...
