After laborious FMS extraction, the Kekwick team finally collected enough to try on six patients at Middlesex Hospital. Put on a diet of 1,500 calories per day, the patients received injections every other day. Half of the time they got FMS; the rest of the time they got salt solution. In the salt periods they lost only an average of 81 grams (less than 3 oz.) per day, while on FMS they lost 231 grams or just over half a pound...
...Hilton is concerned, the only thing sinful is that no respectable midtown hotel has done it sooner. Airport motels and hotels have long offered day rates (usually half-price between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m.) to travelers who want to rest between flights.

The Nigerian Government would surely be responsible for Biafran starvation if she refused to permit the transportation of the badly needed food. Fortunately this is not the case. The same international agencies have affirmed the readiness...
...Monday afternoon, with the convention officially only a few hours old, almost everyone seemed subconsciously to have realized that there wasn't enough of substance to do to fill the time, and the rest of the week was devoted to justifying one's presence...
