...handful of Roman Catholic magazines and newspapers in the U.S. are published by dioceses or religious orders-and usually display a nervous, reverential caution in telling what goes on inside the church. A cheeky, one-year-old exception is Kansas City's National Catholic Reporter, owned and edited by laymen who take orders from no one (although they get moral and financial support from Missouri Bishop Charles Helmsing). "It is the freshest thing that has appeared in Catholic journalism," says Monsignor Francis J. Lally of the Boston Pilot...
...Nervous Rub. The entire House of Commons cheered Wilson's news, and Tory Opposition Leader Ted Heath even rose to welcome him "warmly" after his "long and arduous mission." But the euphoria did not last long. Two days later, the British Prime Minister was back in Commons, grey, grim, and rubbing his cheek nervously with the signet ring on his left hand, to report that "it is now clear that there is no prospect of agreement...
...evidence that advanced forms of life existed until the Cambrian period began, 600 million years ago. Many scientists believed that there was not enough oxygen in the Pre-Cambrian atmosphere to support the development of animals with specialized organs. Now the highly evolved and efficient digestive, locomotive, respiratory and nervous systems of McNair's brachiopods and worms suggest that the earth's atmosphere had an ample supply of oxygen 720 million years ago, and probably for much longer than that...
...preparing them for what is to come." The A.S.A.'s incoming president, Dr. John J. Bonica, drew attention to another vital role of the anesthesiologist-where surgery is not involved or at least not scheduled. "Suppose," he said, "a patient comes in with barbiturate poisoning. All his automatic nervous system reactions, including those of his breathing center, are depressed. He may die because he is not getting enough oxygen, or he may be getting enough to keep him alive but so little as to leave him with a damaged brain. Or the respiratory depression may damage his lungs...
Without a Song. In 1960 he married Swedish Film Star May Britt. It was a classic union of opposites. Davis is short (5 ft. 5 in.), nervous, the color of bittersweet chocolate; leggy, lissome May Britt could be no blonder, remains serene no matter how large the crisis. Somehow the marriage worked. The Davises had one child, adopted a second, then a third. He pulled away from the Clan, hasn't appeared with them since the filming of Robin and the 7 Hoods in 1964. The drinking went down, the smoking went from three packs of cigarettes...
