...nothing, the patient relaxed and then, in an instant, realized the dentist was pushing harder and harder at the tooth. "My God, he's gone mad," the patient screamed to himself, as the dentist pushed and pushed, driving the patient up out of his sear toward some pain-embracing, nauseous state of being between ceiling and floor. He heard his tooth crack. "That's one," the dentist said. "Just relax," the nurse added. And the patient felt the dentist stitching the great hole in his mouth back together...
...Reasons Why. "Fear of flying is not a laughing matter," says San Francisco Psychiatrist Edwin F. Alston. "It can involve clear physical suffering-nauseous stomach, sweating, trembling, and sometimes inability to move." In treating patients, Dr. Alston has found that the causes go far beyond the experience of a particularly rough flight. "It has always been a multiple thing," he says. For a few, the fear may result from a death in the family resulting from an air crash. For others, the airplane may represent separation-from both the ground and loved ones.

Protecting the channel is a dirty job. It flows through the nauseous swamp called the Rung Sat (Killer Jungle), now more than 50% devastated by defoliating agents, but still dense enough to serve as a haven for an estimated 800 V.C. troops.

And even if the Communists had seduced a majority of the population it was doubtful that we should yield. Rather that we should try to win them back. The liberal strategist in this conflict set great store by ameliorative social action. Conservatives tended to place rather more reliance...
...were to isolate the most damaging single feature of American foreign policy in the last twenty years it has been our recurrent support of nauseous despots whom we wouldn't for a moment tolerate within our own frontiers. And much of this support has come from administrations in which, at a minimum, liberal influence has been strong. It has been another result of imagining we could be liberal at home and reactionary abroad. I hope it is a lesson we have finally learned...
