...News. Its claims were ridiculed by the small group around Constantine in the north. In Kavalla, Queen Anne-Marie and Queen Mother Frederika kissed the King goodbye and waved him off as he climbed aboard a helicopter for a short flight to the town of Alexandropolis to stir up more support. He returned in midafternoon and took off almost immediately for Salonica, where handbills proclaiming his coup had been dropped from air force planes. While he was in the air, he received the news that Salonica was under junta control. As he turned back to Kavalla, he faced a shattering...
...income in a land that, despite recent economic progress, remains one of Europe's poorest. The royal way of life-a swirl of parties and yachting with Athens' small Establishment of shipowners and industrialists-is a source of resentment to the average Greek. Most resented is Queen Mother Frederika, who is regarded by most Greeks as an incurable meddler in the country's politics. Since the April coup, Greeks had rallied to Constantine mainly because the crown was the one legal institution that the junta had not destroyed; Greek politicians looked to Constantine to steer the counry...
Broadening the Benefits. Refined and streamlined, Heyns's decompression unit now consists of a tent or bag of plastic supported by a barrel-shaped glass-fiber frame. The zippered bag encases the woman from the armpits down. As the pregnant mother relaxes in a chair, a hose attached to the frame draws air out of the enclosure, reducing air pressure on the abdomen by as much as 3 Ibs. per square inch. Normal pressure within the abdomen remains constant, pushing out the abdominal muscle as decompression outside increases...
...first, Heyns's decompression unit was only used during labor. But evidence of more widespread benefits to mother and child have led to sequential applications of the device from about the 18th week of pregnancy onward. For the mother, says Heyns, decompression sessions encourage painless uterine contractions that may enhance pre-and postnatal development in the child. Evidence also indicates that the technique lowers the incidence of toxemia-a largely unexplained complication of pregnancy, which can be serious...
...child, the benefits of decompression seem even more significant. Children born after a course of decompression during pregnancy appear to develop faster, both physically and mentally. Heyns is understandably tentative about such results. But he believes that decompression improves the circulation of blood-and therefore oxygen-from mother to fetus, giving it a developmental advantage over a child born after a normal, unaided pregnancy...
