This "dialytic parabiosis" lasted 90 minutes, was credited with helping to save the woman's life. (The sheep also recovered after a brief feverish illness.) Last week Dr. Pavone-Macaluso said that he wanted to try the technique again, but with a bigger donor animal-and hence a larger blood volume-to clear the patient's blood faster. In fact, he said, if he could figure out a way to get it into the operating room, he would like to use an elephant...
...union has demanded an immediate 25 cents hourly wage hike, although its members presently receive $2.51 an hour plus fringe benefits, highest in the nation. The transit authorities, on the other hand, have proposed nine pages of work rule changes designed to save $2 million annually, and will probably refuse to grant another wage boost...
Bigger Bargains. Egypt, which needs the High Dam at Aswan to help raise the appallingly low standard of living of its people, belatedly hopes to save at least some of its treasure house of antiquities along the Nubian Nile. As a result, it is playing down its habitual nationalist antagonism toward foreign archaeologists. Instead of permitting foreign diggers to take away only a limited amount of their finds, Culture Minister Okasha offers participating governments one-half of all objects unearthed in any new excavations they make in the lands to be flooded.* Further, he promises to give other ancient monuments...
...railroads' chief case is against their 40,000 firemen, who have little or nothing to do in modern diesels. The roads argue that taking some 23,000 firemen off freight runs and yards alone would save them $200 million a year. They also want to change the mileage pay rates set 40 years ago when trains traveled at turtle speed. Under the obsolete rules, a train crew gets a full day's pay for every 100 miles traveled, and conductors and trainmen on passenger trains for every 150 miles-even though the actual traveling time sometimes takes less...
...unions' most paradoxical argument is that changes in the present rules would actually cost the railroads more than they claim they could save. Railroad workers, whose wages average $2.47 an hour, are paid less than workers in many major U.S. industries. If roads paid overtime, differentials for nightwork. severance pay and other benefits, say the unions, it would cost them $648 million more a year...
