...than a bit embarrassed when the best team they could find to oppose No. 2-ranked Arkansas, the winningest (22 straight) club in college football, was Louisiana State, which had struggled through a soso, seven-and-three season. Oddsmakers made Arkansas a nine-point favorite. They counted without a pint-sized (5 ft. 9 in., 164 lbs.) tailback from Cut Off, La., named Joe Labruzzo. Twice, deep in Arkansas territory, Labruzzo carried the ball on four straight plays. On both occasions he scored, and L.S.U. toppled Arkansas...
Violent Response. Unlike many hospitals, which make up a fresh batch of anesthetic for each patient, Pontiac Osteopathic practice was to mix Surital* in half-pint quantities, enough for at least ten patients. When Kimberly Ann Bruneel, 8, was wheeled into Operating Room No. 1 to have her appendix removed, Nurse-Anesthetist Joan Booth simply jabbed the needle of a syringe through the rubber seal on the "Surital" bottle, drew off some of the fluid, and put a, little into the patient's arm through an intravenous drip tube. The child immediately went into bronchial spasms. Nurse Booth says...
Smith's dialogue smacks of a vintage Saturday-afternoon serial, but his fears are well grounded. A kidnaped professor possesses a secret formula for distilling the lethal essence of the Black Hill Poppy from Tibet ("A pint can kill every living thing in London").

Dr. Flotte took a presurgery blood sample, and the laboratory reported a cholesterol level of about 400 mg., or double the normal. During the operation, the patient received a pint of dextran, both to maintain his blood volume and to reduce clotting. Then he got a pint a day for two days. Dr. Flotte sent a fresh blood sample to the lab and got back a cholesterol reading...
...dextran's anti-cholesterol activity. It worked so well in rabbits that for 21 years he has been giving the drug by intravenous injection to surgery patients who happen to have cholesterol levels in the abnormal range of 300 mg. to 600 mg. After an infusion of a pint a day for three days, the level of cholesterol and other fats in their blood drops back to normal, and can be kept there with infusions of a pint every month. Although Dr. Flotte has no idea how dextran works, he hopes it may also help to dissolve fatty plaques...
