...responding to the increase in CO's, the New England office decided to supplement this service by training people to advise prospective CO's. Overnight Cambridge has become the center of the largest draft counseling service in New England. There are 100 AFSC draft advisors scattered throughout the region, 20 of them in Cambridge...
Hemorrhoids are nothing but varicose veins in the anal region. They result from greatly increased pressure in the anal veins during the muscular contractions of defecation, when portions of a vein break through the skin or other tissues that normally confine them. Famed Harvard Surgeon Francis D.

The once-flourishing port of Oran is almost idle, and at the nearby town of Arzew, heralded as one of Algeria's leading new industrial zones, building sites still lie empty because of the shortage of foreign capital. To add to the misery, farm land in western Algeria has been burned black by the worst drought in a decade, cutting the year's grain supply in half...
