...actually oxygen-starved because neither heart nor lungs are working efficiently. For his tests he has chosen only patients who have had severe, potentially fatal heart attacks. He puts them in the chamber for a minimum of four days (one man stayed in for ten days). The patient breathes pure oxygen under pressure for two hours; then the lid is opened, and he breathes ordinary air for one hour. This cycle is repeated around the clock. Of Ashfield's first 40 patients, only three have died during treatment and two turned out to have had both major coronary arteries...
...scraps are not good enough-which means that the nation's 3,000 dog-and cat-food makers and marketers contemplate 1968 sales of over $900 million, up $300 million since 1965. At that price, the doggy dish runs all the way from chicken croquettes to chunks of pure beef...

Compared with the austere and stately worship at most mainstream Protestant or Roman Catholic churches, the funeral service was almost unbearably emotional. The simple, old-fashioned hymns, sung with tearful intensity by the church choir, were pure "soul"; a succession of black-robed speakers praised the memory of Dr. King in fustian oratory rich with Biblical imagery. In effect, it was a crystalline demonstration of the fact that Negro churches, by and large, are fundamentalist in outlook and still bear the marks of their origin...
