...fact that the main intent of Congress in passing the act was to deal with "what it considered a moral wrong," does not affect its validity under the commerce clause, Clark ruled. In past cases, such as those involving laws against white slavery and gambling, the court has upheld commerce-clause regulations that had more of a moral than an economic intent. Nor is the size of a specific activity relevant. Thus in 1942 the court upheld the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 as applied to a farmer who sowed only 23 acres of wheat to feed his own cattle...
Nuclear techniques are obviously impossible in the present densely populated Canal Zone. Bypassing the locks and widening the main Gaillard Cut by conventional methods would cost about $2 billion, would require shutting down the canal for only twelve days over the entire construction span. Whichever route is chosen, a new sea-level canal could be ready for operation within 10 years from the day that work starts...
...University's famed surgeon Dr. Michael E. DeBakey was scarcely listening as he performed an operation that only a few years ago would have seemed dangerous indeed. He slit open the 70-year-old duke's belly and cut down to the aorta, the body's main artery, on which he found a 4-in. section that had swollen into an aneurysm, much as an inner tube will balloon through a weakness in its rubber wall. In 67 min. of delicate surgery, Dr. DeBakey cut out the aneurysm and replaced it with a length of knitted Dacron...
Kelley was rushed by ambulance to Maine Medical Center in Portland, where Dr. Clement A. Hiebert had to do a 3½-hr. open-heart operation using a heart-lung machine to remove Kelley's bullet. But no less remarkable than Kelley's survival was the strange and tortuous route that the bullet fragment had followed. Slowed by smashing through his skull, it had landed in the left transverse sinus (a large vein). Then it had ''flowed" in the blood stream along the transverse sinus, down the main jugular vein and superior vena cava, into...
...many as 21 different unions within one plant. Still, the lack of notice, severance pay and worker retraining has made British labor among the least protected in all Western countries and often moved workers to resist whatever changes are attempted. This situation encourages overemployment -one of Britain's main labor problems -makes it more difficult and expensive for firms to export, and tends to make all workers progress at the speed of the slowest...
