...have a cancerous polyp removed from his colon. Richard Nixon was treated for viral pneumonia at the 500-bed facility in 1973. Lyndon Johnson had his gall bladder excised at the hospital in 1965 then proudly displayed his scar to anyone who cared to see it. Bethesda, in the northwest outskirts of Washington, D.C., is also a jewel in the crown of the U.S. military health care system, whose 688 facilities care for the nation's wounded in time of war. But presidential patronage notwithstanding, the massive system, and Bethesda in particular, has been sorely wounded in recent weeks...

Less than 500 miles northwest of the Nova Scotia fossil find is the enormous Manicouagan impact crater, its outermost ring--clearly visible in satellite photographs--measuring more than 90 miles in diameter. Given the margins of error in dating, the age of the crater (about 214 million years) makes it suspect in the 200 million-year-old extinction...
...fiscal 1987 budget, which Reagan presents to Congress this week, was expected to propose selling many Government-owned operations to private companies. Among the things that may be put on the block are Dulles Airport, near Washington, the National Weather Service satellites, the Bonneville Power Administration in the Northwest, and the Navy's petroleum reserves in California and Wyoming...
