...police decoys took lie detector tests administered by Dr. Richard Raskin of the University of Utah. Raskin--a big man in lie detection who was ready to testify for the defense in the Patty Hearst trial until her defense discovered California doesn't accept lie detector tests as evidence even from Raskin--found that both decoys were telling the truth about the Howe incident...
Government officials with a Chicago connection range broadly from one end of the political spectrum to the other. Says Gale McGee: "The only school tie that carries over is in conversation at cocktail parties. There's no real affinity." Adds Marcus Raskin, a Chicago alumnus who directs the Institute for Policy Studies, an ultraliberal think tank: "The people from the university literally don't know each other here. Chicago's position was always as an outsider from among the ruling elite of American schools. The people there are highly individualistic, even eccentric, and they see themselves...
...from Secretary of the Interior Rogers C.B. Morton decrying the growing number of lay-offs resulting from the "miners' strike"--indicating, apparently, that no one has lost his job due to the coal operators' recalcitrance--the initial response from Washington officials was, as The New York Times editorialist A.H.

Western experts suspect that the warships often suffered from serious engine...
...Monosodium glutamate, a commonly used flavor enhancer, has been linked with the chest pains and headaches of the so-called Chinese restaurant syndrome. But chow mein is not the only dish that may trigger "dietary migraine." Dr. Neil Raskin and William Henderson of the University of California at San Francisco report in Lancet that sodium nitrite, a preservative mixed into some hot dogs, sausages and cured meats, can cause "hotdog headaches." The pair base their findings on the study of a 58-year-old man with a seven-year history of painful, nonthrobbing headaches whenever he ate frankfurters, bacon, salami...
