...horrifying enough, but it's obvious that it is very little of its complete operations. So assuming the CIA is evil, and assuming its influence is extensive, isn't it fruitful to speculate on the real parameters of its power. Magazines like New Solidarity--the U.S. Labor Party organ that had headlines like ROCKEFELLER PLOTS WORLD CONTROL--are obviously going too far with the possibilities, but Cockburn works close to the edge of believability without going past it. He is dealing with things that seem now to go beyond personalities in their importance; even all the more important because...
...artery feeding the brain. When it does, part of the brain is deprived of its blood supply and thus its oxygen. The resulting damage is called a stroke. High blood pressure also forces the heart to work harder, for it must pump against increased resistance. The overworked organ may enlarge, demanding more oxygen than the system can provide; the chest pains of angina pectoris or even damage to irreplaceable heart muscle may soon follow. Or the enlarged heart may be unable to empty itself against the pressure of blood in the arteries, causing fluid to accumulate behind the heart...
...that large doses of an antimalarial drug called pentaquine dramatically lowered the blood pressures of normal men. Figuring that it might do the same for hypertensives, Freis administered it to a patient with severely elevated blood pressure. It worked, and although the patient eventually died of kidney failure (the organ had been badly damaged by his hypertension), his case demonstrated the practicality of drug treatment...
...faculty and others here should not be done through internal means alone. News and views presented in appropriate public media will be read or heard by our faculty, students and staff; often, they will take more seriously material received from public media than that reaching them through a house organ or a general memo. This being the case, improvements in our presentations must be made in our work with the public media as well as in on-campus channels...
...youthful would-be deejays adopted such sprightly call signs as "Buzz Saw," "Green Ghost," "Graveyard Goon," "Bullet Hole," "Spark of Love" and "The Invisible Man." The police were not amused. In an effort to make a clean sweep of the cluttered airways, 1,000 amateur Donetsk broadcasters-called "organ grinders" by the police-were arrested and fined 50 rubles ($69) for "violating rules governing the use of radio frequencies." There have been similar efforts to clamp down on underground broadcasts in other major cities...
