...emergency room, Dr. Joseph Belshe made an instant decision: with out waiting even to wash his hands, he ripped open Fruehling's heavy clothes, made a 7-in. incision over the heart, and plunged his hand in to massage the stilled organ. A nurse administered oxygen. Drs. Fred Riegel and Dean Ericksen joined Belshe. All they got after 10 to 15 minutes of massage was a fluttering:-"ventricular fibrillation," usually the forewarning of a dying heart. The little country hospital had no fancy electrical defibrillator (TIME, May 7), but Dr. Riegel thought he knew just what...
...sickly, had an asthmatic allergy (to cats and dust). He recalls: "I was a miserable, terrified little child." When he was eight, Sam took him to the synagogue, and noticed that when the choir began to sing, Lennie was so moved that he began to cry. As for the organ ? "It was the Mighty Wurlitzer itself to me." De spite his interest in the neighbor's piano, the Bernsteins never had a musical instrument in the house until Lennie was ten. Then they were saddled with a "brown upright horror" that Aunt Clara wanted...
...points out, there is a rise in several enzymes, including serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGO-T) and lactic dehydrogenase (SLD). Liver diseases cause release into the blood of SGO-T and glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGP-T). Careful and repeated measuring of several enzymes can pinpoint disease in a particular organ. Examples: a high level of SGO-T, without elevation in SGP-T, gave an index of President Eisenhower's progress after his heart attack in September 1955. With cirrhosis of the liver there is a marked rise in SGO-T but little or no rise...
...close plants and trim rail schedules, and the Poles have sharply reduced coal exports to satellite neighbors to give priority to their own ailing economy. Because of the cutback in Polish coal, East Germany's vital metalworking industry has been seriously crippled. "The coal problem." said the party organ Neues Dentschland last month, "is a question of our entire people's economy." Industrial production may have to be curtailed in Czechoslovakia, which leans heavily on Polish coal. Battered Hungary's coal industry is operating at only 25% to 30% of normal. The satellites have been trying...
Author Habe seeks to temper his anti-Americanism with organ-tone laments about history being bigger than both peoples and no nation being fit to judge another. Americans need not fear criticism, or insulate their consciences from an accounting of the wrongs the U.S. can and does commit. But this book does not really offer such an accounting. Instead, it offers Author Habe's strange verdict that the U.S., acting in good faith, has done more harm to Europe than the nation which, twice within a quarter-century, launched total...
