...emotional equivalent of muscle memory; it's buried so deep that even modern science, or science fiction, can't reach it. Love isn't what we remember; it's what we are. For all the memory Dr. M. extracts from Joel, the doctor neglects to remove his patient's heart, and that leads the poor sap right back to his unforgettable inamorata. If it's meant to happen, it will, over and over. You can't erase destiny...
...knows yet how low LDL levels should go. Most likely, there is a point of diminishing returns where going any lower isn't worth the effort or the risk of side effects. "I'm currently treating patients with heart disease at LDL goals of 70 mg/dL," says Dr. Robert Eckel, chair of the American Heart Association's Council on Nutrition, Physical Activity and Metabolism. He says that if he can do that with Pravachol, he uses Pravachol. If not, he uses one of the other five statins currently available--depending on his patient's condition and insurance requirements...
...issue for doctors is not how heart patients get their LDL lowered but that they do it--and fast. The NEJM study showed that the benefits of aggressively lowering LDL cholesterol start appearing in the first month after a patient is hospitalized. That's a lot sooner than anyone expected and a powerful argument for pushing LDL levels as low as they...
...team's tallest player is 6 ft. 9 in.--smaller than most college big men.) The school must also persuade athletes to commit five years of postgraduate life to the military--not exactly a lure to players with dreams of a pro career. Yet coach Joe Scott's patient pass-and-cut offense, a system he learned at Princeton as a player and an assistant coach, made up for these handicaps this year by yielding lots of wide-open lay-ups and three-point shots. Welch was a Mountain West co--player of the year despite averaging just 11.2 points...
...stage actress Elisabeth Volger (Liv Ullmann) suddenly stops in the middle of her performance and ceases entirely to speak thereafter. She is sent away to a country cottage, where she is tended to by a garrulous nurse named Alma (Bibi Andersson). Alma quickly develops a monologue with her mute patient and slowly the two women seem to fuse into a single, indistinguishable entity. But a plot summary hardly does justice to Persona, director Ingmar Bergman’s masterwork and one of the most important films of 1960s cinema. Bergman explores the nature of communication, while tangling with threads...
