Already approved by the National Academy of Sciences-National Research Council, and used by the U.S. armed forces, the mouth-to-mouth revival method is both the simplest and the oldest known to man. It returns to favor after years of reliance on such awkward physical maneuvers as the Shafer prone-pressure system and the Nielsen back-pressure, arm-lift method.

The further consequence of the flap was that plodding Selwyn Lloyd could now consider himself more secure...
