...flickering neon sign, illuminating and concealing the body of a female lover at regular intervals. The music never changes, and Harvey just watches, confessing that "she tears my heart out, every time." In the last verse, her voice lilts to a high, thin whisper as though all oxygen had run out of the room; the counterpoint to the neon drone bewitches, and Harvey, ever economical, stops the track early before the moment could be lost...
Technicians drain the afterbirth of its blood and process the material to concentrate the stem cells. Theoretically, stem cells can rebuild the body's bloodmaking machinery so that it produces the full array of effective blood cells the body needs to defend itself against germs, close wounds and transport oxygen. Scientists speculate that cord stem cells are more adaptable and will transplant more successfully, even in patients with imperfect biological matches, than stem cells harvested from adult bone-marrow donors...
...decades, the Federal Aviation Administration has required airlines to provide pilots with oxygen masks and goggles to shield them from smoke in the cockpit. But thick smoke can also prevent pilots from seeing their instruments or the view through their windshields. That concern has moved scores of owners and operators of corporate jets, from Prudential Insurance to Planet Hollywood, to install a $9,915 Emergency Vision Assurance System, manufactured by VisionSafe Corp. in Kaneohe, Hawaii. The portable, 5-lb. units inflate to form smoke-free plastic "cocoons" around instrument panels and windshields. Pilots activate the systems--there...
...Swedish-born Werjefelt, 54, has failed to win over the FAA. It maintains that goggles and oxygen masks are all that flight crews need to cope with cockpit-smoke emergencies, which occur at the rate of 40 to 50 a year on U.S. domestic flights. The agency says studies show that efforts to set up and activate EVAS-like devices could distract pilots from the task of controlling their planes. Many flight crews would disagree, according to John Mazor, a spokesman for the Air Line Pilots Association, which represents 50,000 commercial pilots. The EVAS, he says, "really works...
...Friday, a friend says, Hillary had "reconnected the President's oxygen tube" and rallied to help absorb the incoming fire from Starr. She had resumed the "my husband" business in her introductions and adopted a modified Nancy Reagan gaze as she listened to the President at Friday's prayer breakfast, although a friend jokes that if the President apologizes one more time, Hillary will kill him. Sensing an opening, aides are pushing her hard to go on TV to shore up the President. But if she reads the report and has any feelings left at all, the only honest reaction...
