...conventional oxygen tent. It was too soon to be sure of any improvement, but at least he was no worse. Twelve hours later, the doctors gave him a second high-pressure treatment. After that, as his muscles relaxed and his arched back straightened, Douma was clearly on the mend. Just five days after entering the hospital, and little more than three days after his first tank treatment, Douma spoke for the first time. His lockjaw had eased enough for him to swallow water and milk, and he seemed well on the way to recovery...

If Love's name were Smith, stockholders would probably be just as pleased by the solid, dollars-and-cents evidence suggesting that long-ailing Chrysler is finally on the mend.

Artful Anastas got a coolly correct reception in Guinea, where he tried to mend some fences; the Soviet ambassador, since expelled, had stirred up demonstrations against President Sekou Toure, a Marxist but apparently not enough of one for Moscow. In Red-leaning Mali and Ghana, Mikoyan was treated like an honorary African, grinned while a provincial street was named after...
Nehru also tried to mend his U.S. fences. Recalling that diplomatic approaches from the U.S. and Great Britain had twice postponed the invasion date, he said: "We appreciate the anxiety of the U.S. to help us solve this problem." Asked if he had a New Year's thought for the world, Nehru replied: "I may sound like a hypocrite, but my message is 'Work for peace...
