...week-long in-hospital examinations of 30 Jamaicans who routinely smoke an average of seven marijuana cigarettes a day, doctors found that they were more likely than nonsmokers to exhibit hypoxia, a decrease of oxygen carried by the blood to the organs and tissues. But their heart rates, liver and lung functioning, coordination and memory were not significantly different from that of nonusers. Critics of the new study feel it did not look long or closely enough to find the genetic and other defects previously shown to be associated with marijuana; they still believe the drug is harmful...
Died. Oswald G. Nelson, 68, the "Ozzie" of Ozzie and Harriet; eight months after surgery for liver cancer; in Hollywood. Crewcut, relentlessly wholesome Ozzie Nelson was the archetypal all-American boy. Born in Jersey City, he became the nation's youngest-ever Eagle Scout at 13, starred as a quarterback at Rutgers and worked his way through law school by moonlighting as a bandleader. In 1935 he married his comely singer-emcee Harriet Hilliard; in their radio adventures, which began in 1944, he was the cheerful, slightly bemused pipe-and-slippers family man, she the sweetly understanding helpmate steering...
JOHN FERMIN, 32, a former Army PFC, lost a leg during his five months in Viet Nam. He is now recuperating from a liver operation in Manhattan's VA hospital: "I don't think we had any right over there. I don't mind helping the people, but they should have fought the war themselves. But I figured that if we were there to fight, we should fight to win. We got into it halfway and I came home with half a leg. America is a powerful country. She stands for human rights. She's ashamed...
...Resolute Bay with Joseph Maclnnis, a Canadian expert on Arctic undersea life. Charles' eleven-day trip to Canada included dinner with Prime Minister Pierre and Margaret Trudeau in Ottawa, a dogsled ride at Frobisher, and a tour of Eskimo villages, where he ate raw seal liver and musk ox steak. After his icy dive, the game prince adjourned to dinner at a local hotel, where journalists serenaded him with a medley of songs. Not to be outdone, Charles assembled his personal staff and led them in a parody of the old English hymn Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise...
...Longfellow's "meadows brown" and "village street," Di Carlo will ride through a typical 20th century urban sprawl (see map). If he wished, he could stop for a grinder at Mamma Lisa's Pizza House, a beer at Moriarty's Bar, a pound of chopped chicken liver at Levine's Kosher Meat Market or lunch at the China Bo Restaurant. He could wash his horse blanket at Launderland or even trade in his steed for something with more horsepower at any of half a dozen automobile dealerships along the way. But Di Carlo will be spurred...
