...Francisco $1,350,000. U.S. companies that had insured the manufacturers of thalidomide suffered losses when the drug proved harmful to the unborn. Insurance Co. of North America wrote $7,800,000 in premiums on aviation insurance in 1959, but lost money on the insurance because of a rash of air crashes that year. Other high-risk insurers paid off nearly $1,000,000 on the gas explosion under the stands at Indianapolis' State Fairgrounds Coliseum, and a host of companies are stuck with as much as $25 million in claims resulting from the bursting of California...
...delegate votes, although the primary is not binding. Yet Barry's win impressed hardly anyone, if only because Illinois had figured to be a real Goldwater stronghold and he got only a bit more than 50% of the total G.O.P. primary vote.

Less predictable and less understood is a complication...
Faced with such voter cunning, the Interior Ministry before the latest election grappled for weeks with the delibility factor, finally developed an ink so potent that many a horny-handed Somali ballot stuffer came down with a skin rash. That took care of most repeaters. Despite scattered reports of overenthusiastic balloting, not to mention a slight riot (13 dead, 20 hurt), Somalia's election was the straightest in its young history-and one of the freest in all Africa. All but final results announced last week gave the ruling, middle-road Somali Youth League of Premier Ab-dirashid...
...often find the effects of the medicine worse than the headache they are trying to cure. In extreme cases, they suffer internal bleeding or their ulcers perforate. As with all drugs, a few people are abnormally sensitive to aspirin; even a normal dose may cause dizziness, nausea, a skin rash, or an asthmatic crisis...
