...history of courage and of restraint. Malcolm X presented Black history as the terrible epic of constant war between Black and white. It was a history of conflict. King had accepted Hegel's view of history, namely, that there was a dialectical process of progress and growth through pain. But the dialectical idea for King, the notion of struggle, was also taken over from Gandhi and Thoreau, especially from the latter's essay on Civil Disobedience. King believed in struggle, in a kind of war, if you like, but a war in Gandhi's terms, "without violence." But King...
...Hillsboro, Ore., detectives were keeping "open minds" in their investigation into the death of Patricia Bennett, 31. A campus security officer at Portland Community College, Bennett died last week after swallowing one or more Anacin-3 capsules laced with cyanide. Her death was the first fatal poisoning linked to pain relievers since seven people in the Chicago area died between Sept. 29 and Oct. 1. Meanwhile, American Home Products is voluntarily withdrawing all Anacin-3 capsules not in tamper-resistant containers...
...most actors tell it, success is the Holy Grail, achieved only after pain, struggle and years spent waiting on tables between auditions.

As many as one in ten American males and one in 40 women will eventually suffer excruciating pain caused by the accumulation of crystalline material in the kidneys. The incidence of the disease is two to three times higher in the Southeast U.S., which, for reasons unknown-perhaps diet, water supply or climate-has one of the highest rates of kidney stones in the world. Usually a stone will be spontaneously excreted by the sufferer. But each year about 200,000 Americans are hospitalized...
...After this procedure, patients are up and around pain-free the next morning," reports Urologist Culley Carson of Duke University Medical Center. "It would be difficult for them to walk around for three or four days after conventional surgery." Another advantage: nephroscopy patients can return to their jobs in about a week; surgical patients require ten days of costly hospitalization and up to eight weeks of convalescence. "There really is no trauma to the system with this method," says Dr. Joseph Segura of the Mayo Clinic, which pioneered the technique...
