...Half a year after they started, Friedman and Hutchisson had their answer. Tests on both animal and human blood indicated that the new machine was not only safe but efficient at cleansing the blood. After only four weeks of instruction, the plucky Mrs. Berman, who is president of the nonprofit National Association of Patients on Hemodialysis and Transplantation Inc. (N.A.P.H.T.), headed West with her 24-lb. suitcase kidney and 15 Ibs. of accessories (including container and dialyzing mix). The machine worked without a hitch. She dialyzed five times-in motel rooms and even on a friend's backyard patio...
Default Rate. In addition, the Government has reinsured student loans of about $4.9 billion guaranteed by 25 states, the District of Columbia and one private nonprofit agency; Washington reimburses the states for 80% of any money they lose paying off defaulted loans. To date, the Government has lost nearly $400 million on the two programs; states have apparently lost almost $47 million more. And the losses are mounting; this year the default rate on student loans guaranteed by Washington is running at a startling...
...with any realistic answer to the city's dilemma. If Anaconda were to abandon its operations in Butte and lay off its 3,000 employees there, the economic impact on the city would be devastating.

Following the procedures set up by the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, founder of the nonprofit TM movement, new recruits are initiated in candlelit, incense-filled rooms. Trained teachers assign each student a personal mantra-a meaningless sound that must be kept secret. Students are taught to close their eyes for 20 minutes twice daily, focus on their mantra, and let their mind "float and float...
Last spring a venerable steam locomotive pulling 25 red, white and blue cars chugged out of Wilmington, Del., on a 17,000-mile, two-year Bicentennial tour of the U.S. It was the American Freedom Train, a private, nonprofit project financed through $5 million in gifts from five U.S. corporations and billed as "a birthday gift to the American people." The train carried a somewhat indiscriminate array of American artifacts: George Washington's copy of the Constitution, the agreement for the Louisiana Purchase, Will Rogers' lariat, Judy Garland's dress from the Wizard of Oz and Kareem...
