...Winthrop House dominated play in the first half and led 12-0 at half-time. Flanker Jimmy Peterson scored the first touchdown on an overload power play. Winthrop capitalized on an Eliot House fumble in the second quarter, scoring on a five-yard plunge by halfback Billy Hobbs...
...Bank of Dodson, which simply followed that Panhandle community in decline, or at Big Lake, an oil and ranch town on the flatlands of West Texas, where billboards exhort passers-by to "pray for rain." Horace B. Rees, 64, president of the Big Lake State Bank, "let his heart overload his sense." as one customer says, and tried to lure industry to the town by loaning seed capital to dubious ventures. Big Lake, however, was deprived of banking services for only a week. Three groups bid for the charter, and a wealthy consortium of local oilmen and ranchers...
...Illinois National Guard fire tear gas at a group of terrified youngsters while one of Wexler's assistants is heard to scream off-camera: "Watch out, Haskell, it's real!"

The romance never quite has the passion and urgency that it should, and the novice director's infatuation with Jean-Luc Godard deceives him into a gratuitous existential denouement (straight out of Contempt) in which the lovers hear about their involvement in a fatal car crash before...

But any unnatural overload piles up, causing abdominal cramps ("painter's colic"), lassitude, irritability, vomiting and twitching. In severe cases, the victim may lapse into a coma.

Treatment is still the subject of disputation among experts, except for the obvious measure of keeping the child away from lead long enough to give his system a chance to excrete the overload. It usually takes at least twice as long to remove the lead as it took for the child to take it in, says Chisolm. For the milder cases, this appears to be sufficient. For more severe poisoning, especially if there are signs of brain damage, some doctors use drugs called chelating agents. These drugs work by substituting calcium for the lead, which is then excreted...
