...reported jump may seem inconsequential at first: up 1.4 points, to 106 mm Hg, for systolic pressure and up 3.3 points, to 61.7 mm Hg, for diastolic. Indeed, that would normally not be a problem for an individual child. But we're talking about averages across the entire U.S. population. "Shifting the average by that amount is a big deal," says Dr. Stephen Daniels of the Children's Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati, Ohio...
...retrospective wasn’t organized by the HFA itself. Rather, it’s a traveling series organized by Shochiku Home Video, the original Japanese distributor of Ozu’s films. Shochiku collected newly-struck 35 mm prints of most the films, many of which have been previously available only on 16 mm. Before coming to Harvard, the retrospective visited the Berlin, Hong Kong and New York Film Festivals, and the EAC Film Archive in Berkeley...

The aging state-owned enterprise, which a decade ago made 130-mm artillery shells, now houses assembly lines that stamp out a boxy four-door hatchback called the Flyer. It built just 17,000 vehicles last year; many of the underpowered and unattractive cars were bought by local taxi companies on the order of provincial officials looking for a captive market. But even that didn't dismay factory managers trying to cash...
