...general health is good. He has no symptoms in any way pertaining to his heart-that is, he has no pain, no shortness of breath. There was a comment made about fatigue a week ago, which was not due to his heart but which may be attributed to fatigue such as anyone may feel. If any of you work quite hard with a long conference, you may get tired. It's a nervous symptom, as I view it, in all probability...
...postpone for a year its ban on the manufacture of heroin, which was due to go into effect at year's end. British doctors-and M.P.'s of both parties-had fought the ban vehemently, insisting that heroin is needed for medical purposes, chiefly as a pain killer.

As I stooped over to pick up my ball, I thought maybe I had been smoking too many cigarettes-at the time, two or three packs a day. I finished the hole, and by the time I was on the twelfth, I was perspiring. I drove the 13th...
...dank, verminous cells, the human derelicts ("faces the color of lead and the consistency of oatmeal''), and the laughter of the French court which released him, "the laughter of those who consider themselves to be at a safe remove from all the wretched, for whom the pain of the living is not real." Moving on to a tiny Swiss village high in the Alps, he found himself regarded as an exotic freak, the only Negro the villagers had ever seen. Daily, the children skipped at his heels, yipping "Neger! Neger!", and Author Baldwin sometimes muttered sourly to himself...
