CDIED. FRANK KELLY FREAS, 82, artist whose career included designing posters for NASA, illustrating Isaac Asimov's science-fiction books and creating the definitive portraits of Mad magazine's grinning mascot, Alfred E. Newman, originally drawn by Norman Mingo; in West Hills, Calif...
...simple one: fair process must be granted to those accused of human rights breaches, lest the institutions that mete out judgments on rights violators trample on rights themselves. Though Judge Guzman may have been convinced by Pinochet’s lucidity during trial that the General was not as mad as his lawyers claimed he was, yesterday’s Court of Appeals ruling came barely a day after news that Pinochet was even recovering from his illness, and there is little evidence that the court could have known for certain Pinochet’s present capacity for standing trial...
When Jonathan Simms was 17, doctors thought he had 14 months to live. The Belfast teen was exhibiting the first symptoms of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (VCJD), the human version of mad cow disease, and there could only be one prognosis.

Obviously, the ulcerous worker of the U.S. has to keep up the furious and exhaustive pace to produce the money which permits the lazy Latin and feeble French to vegetate on their numb posteriors. And if the typical American has his ulcer, the typical European most assuredly has his perforated liver...
