...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...
...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.

Synthetics are used to replace many worn-out body parts, and even organ transplants have become relatively commonplace. Machines routinely supplement the function of failing kidneys. There are new methods of detecting and treating genetic defects. Hypertension is becoming more manageable; the coronary-bypass operation has made productive citizens of invalids. Even certain cancers, notably Hodgkin's disease and leukemia, have shown remarkable remissions under treatment. Infant mortality is less than 19 per thousand, and the contemporary child can expect to live four years longer than his parents. This may be a mixed blessing, considering our bafflement about...
Since the treasure appeared in print, Tachibana has been lionized by interviewers, Bungei-Shunju's circulation has jumped 10%, and collectors are now paying up to $60 for a copy of the historic November issue (actual price: $1.16). Yet only one newspaper, the Communist Party organ Akahata (Red Flag), has since formed an investigative team, and many Japanese doubt that their discreet press will ever develop an appetite for muckraking. Even so, Bungei-Shunju will remain a goad to the complaisant. The magazine's January issue, due on the newsstands next week, contains further disclosures about Tanaka. Managing...
