...years, I do not recognize the man you describe as Andreas Papandreou. If you knew Andreas or his writings, you would know he is no more a "leftist" than the younger Hubert Humphrey, in whose alma mater Papandreou taught economics between Harvard and Berkeley. By this semantic smear you justify another U.S.-subsidized rightist regime rejected by the populace in national elections. Your version of the coup imperils the life of Andreas Papandreou in a cynical "treason" trial...
Cancer of the cervix is one of the commonest forms of malignant disease. It is also one of the most certainly cur able, provided it is detected early. Thanks to the famed "Pap smear" test for early detection, developed by Cornell University's late Dr. George N. Papanicolaou, the lives of an estimated 15,000 women are now being saved each year in the U.S. But gynecologists believe that almost as many women who develop cervical cancer each year will eventually die of it, and needlessly - because it is not being detected soon enough...
...determine just where it is. Cervical cancer, he notes, is found not only in older women but in young women, who may, as a result, lose their chance of motherhood. He cites the case of a woman in her early 20s, soon to be married. The Pap smear taken at a premarital examination discloses some suspicious cells. Since their source is not precisely pinpointed, standard practice would demand removal of sizable cone-shaped sections of tissue from the cervix and perhaps its entire lip, with the danger of forming scar tissue that could close off the uterus and leave...
...heating oil, for example, cannot be predicted until its chemical components are completely determined. Unlike American heating oils, this oil is of an inferior grade; it is black, thick, and totally unrefined. Restorers have had considerable experience with the oils from lipstick which tourists often use to smear their initials on the major monuments. Lipstick oils, they have found, sink into the porous surface of the stone and are very difficult to remove. But no one has had any experience with the effect of this crude heating oil on paper, panels, canvas, or stone...
...provide entertainment for the sadistic secret police. His army and his oilfields are controlled by the British, but the British legate is a bumfembedded chargé, and his aides are tired old faggots and redbrick rejects. The Russians infiltrate, the colonels plot, the inevitable coup transpires in a scarlet smear of violence. The story falters in its final pages, but Mossman never relents his graceful ridicule ("The Russian delegation in their square-rigged tunics and striped trousers arrived at the palace, looking like a band that has lost its instruments"). Nor does he abate his unseemly aptitude for discovering bacteria...
