...addition to the $53 million he was getting in drugs, food and other goods in exchange for the prisoners. Last week the list of donors to that $53 million was being filled out; some companies had given or pledged more than they had been listed for in previous, partial lists (TIME, Jan. 11). Among them: American Cyanamid Corp., Pearl River, N.Y., $3,300,000 (instead of the previously reported $1,000,000); Richardson-Merrill, N.Y.C., $1,337,000 (instead of $155,000); Johnson & Johnson, New Brunswick, N.J., $1,011,000 (instead of $350,000); Abbott Laboratories, North Chicago, listed...

The older the patient, usually, the less powerful this motive. How much of his improvement over a period of months is due to a partial resumption of function by damaged but not quite dead brain cells, and how much is due to other parts of the brain taking over the lost functions, is not known.

Unfortunately, (I'm rather partial to sweet little old ladies, myself) neither the staff nor the surroundings are quite so picturesque as those described by Gerry; the attendants, although seriously handicapped by the lack of a catalogue, are usually able to come up with a map which answers the reader's question.

...maintain himself upright. Five minutes after the injection he trumpeted, collapsed, fell heavily onto his right side, defecated, and went into status epilepticus. The limbs on the left side were hyperextended and held stiffly out from the body; the limbs on the right side were drawn up in partial flexion; there were tremors throughout. The eyes were closed and showed a spasm of the orbicularis occuli; the eyeballs were turned sharply to the left, with markedly dilated pupils. The mouth was open, but breathing was extremely labored and stertorous..." But why go on? "He died 1 hour and 40 minutes...
