...hypoglycemia so much as cause it. For one thing, interpreting the results is difficult because no one is sure what the normal level of glucose really should be. Depending on the specialist, the lowest "normal" can be any point between 35 mg and 60 mg of glucose in 100 ml of blood. Doctors now stress that the diagnosis cannot be based on numbers alone; the data must be matched to symptoms. One study found values as low as 22 mg per 100 ml in apparently healthy women. Says Endocrinologist Simeon Margolis of Johns Hopkins University: "It does not mean anything...
...like the draft and the Ml rifle, C rations will become a thing of the past. In their place the Army has developed MREs (meal, ready-to-eat), precooked and packed in nice little aluminum-foil pouches. The new fare includes steak, swiss; ham, sliced; chicken, a la king; and beef, stew; along with chocolate cookies, fruit and brownies and freeze-dried coffee. The Pentagon says it has tested the new rations under both tropical and arctic conditions and even on generals at the Defense Logistics Agency, who were not told that they were being served MREs in the dining...

Ml, which is currency plus checking accounts, has recently been growing at about an 11.4% annual rate, much faster than Miller wants, partly because loan demand in the year's second quarter was exceptionally strong. But M2, which is currency plus checking accounts and most time deposits in banks, grew at 8.3% in the second quarter, more slowly than Miller wants. A possible reason: investors have been switching from time deposits to higher-yielding short-term securities, like Treasury bills...
During Burns' last year, the Federal Reserve constantly overshot or undershot its targets, for reasons that no one seems fully to understand. The Ml growth rate swung crazily from almost 14% in one month to nearly zero in another, and the gyrations confused and alarmed moneymen. Miller aims for more stability by not pushing down wildly on the pedal or slamming on the brakes in one month to correct the previous month's error...
...chairman is fairly well known, but, says Senate Banking Committee Chairman William Proxmire, "I bet only half a dozen members of Congress could tell the names of all the members of the board, and most people think that Ml is a gun used in World War II." Few Washington cab drivers know the Fed's address on Constitution Avenue...
