...along other roads. Italians who flocked to Sardinia's much-ballyhooed Costa Esmeralda, where the Aga Khan is building a resort, found themselves quartered in half-finished hotels with neither lights nor hot water. And the annual crush of German tourists never quite materialized. Offended by a rash of Italian-made anti-German films, some German newspapers advised their readers to take their business elsewhere...
...deadlier disease. It struck almost one-third of the population, and killed about one-third of its victims. Men and women of all ages were stricken. First came fever, chills and headache. Then, in many cases, an agonizing pain in the back, usually followed by a rash in the throat, tremor of the tongue and extremities, bleeding from tiny vessels around the eyes, and blood in the urine. After about a week, many of the victims turned as cold as a morgue slab before they died. Survivors presented a pitiable sight for weeks, with bleeding gums and persistent tremor...
...BORIC ACID, once a favorite remedy for minor irritations such as diaper rash and prickly heat, can be fatal. Most insidious are the cases in which frequent application allows boric acid to be absorbed into the body through broken or irritated skin or through mucous membranes. Since the body is slow to eliminate the chemical, it accumulates in the liver and kidneys; in infants it sometimes causes nausea, convulsions and death. For years pediatricians have been wary of boric acid. Now a research team at St. John's University College of Pharmacy in New York City has developed...
...shot of the more potent live virus. In either case, side effects are slight and infrequent. The investigators gave the live virus vaccine to 296 children who had already had one dose of the killed virus, and only 15% of the subjects developed a fever; 3% got a mild rash. For those who had two doses of killed virus before getting live virus shots, reactions were reduced by half. Of 75 given three killed virus shots, only one ran a fever and one developed a rash after an injection of the live virus vaccine...
...many office buildings going up that some realtors feel that it could take until 1967 to fill them. Across the U.S., the number of office buildings with 10% or more vacancy has jumped from 18.6% last year to 26.3% in 1963. As for homes, any developer today who is rash enough to build 200 houses on a suburban tract runs the risk of bankruptcy before he sells them; in Denver, several marginal builders have already gone bankrupt. Yet the demand for homes is up this year in nearly half the U.S., and for a good reason: prices have become more...
