Spin the Platelets. Progress along these lines has already been made in supplying platelets-the tiny elements in the blood which enable it to clot-from healthy donors to leukemia patients threatened with uncontrollable hemorrhage. A healthy donor gives two pints of blood at a sitting, instead of the usual single pint. But while he is still on the table, high-speed centrifuges separate the platelets. Most of the rest of the blood (red cells, white cells and plasma) is returned to his veins at once. He can continue such donations twice a week for months on end. Al ready...
...State put on an FBI agent who said he had taken a statement from Ware on July 6, 1961, while Ware was still in the hospital. In this statement Ware had sworn that he had drunk six cans of beer and had had a few swallows from a pint bottle of whiskey.

...went to the polls for national elections and rewarded their experimenting Premier with a jolting setback that cost his party 730,000 votes and may well cost him his job. The apertura might survive, but its future-like Fanfani's-would be riskier than ever. Ashen-faced, the pint-size (5 ft. 1 in.) Premier faced reporters in the Chigi Palace on election night with uncommon shock. "The Christian Democrats,'' he declared, "have been declared as the relative majority party, even if by a narrower margin than before...
