...army and police patrols with stones and fire bombs. At week's end the grim cycle began all over again as Patrick O'Hara, 24, became the fourth hunger striker to die. The rioting left one man and a twelve-year-old girl dead-apparently victims of plastic bullets-while six British soldiers were injured. But neither last week's casualties, nor the possibility of more to come, seemed likely to force the British to yield to the protesters' demand that they be treated as political prisoners rather than common criminals...
...like there was an elephant sitting on my chest." Realizing he was having a heart attack, he called for help and was rushed to the hospital by ambulance. Emergency room physicians stabilized his condition and transferred him to a special laboratory for a delicate experimental procedure. A long, thin plastic tube was inserted into an artery in his leg and gently pushed through the blood vessels all the way up into the aorta to the coronary arteries. A radiopaque substance was injected into the coronary vessels, and X-ray pictures were taken, revealing a blood clot. Doctors infused an anticlotting...

...Folkman of Children's Hospital Medical Center and described in the Lancet, the bone is made into strips, blocks, chips or powder and soaked in hydrochloric acid to remove all minerals. It is then dried, sterilized and stored. When needed, it is mixed with a saline solution. Says Plastic Surgeon John B. Mulliken, also of Children's Hospital: "The powder, which then has a pasty consistency, is used to caulk around defects, to fill in holes, irregularities, and is shoved into places hard to get at. The chips, though rubbery, immediately give some stability and form." Cartilage...
