Western medicine bases diagnoses on specific symptoms, but traditional acupuncture determines treatment by reading your qi, or energy flow. To test a patient's qi, an acupuncturist examines a patient's skin color (coffee drinkers are distinguishable from non-coffee drinkers), listens to his voice, samples his odor (diabetics smell sweeter than non-diabetics), and most important, the patient's pulse...
Ironically, one of the chief targets of Vander Jagt, who was the keynote speaker at the Republican National Convention, is Mo Udall, 58, who was the Democratic keynoter. Admits Bruce Wright, Udall's campaign manager: "The Republicans smell blood this time." The ten-term Congressman's chief problem is the rapidly shifting political complexion of his district. It includes Tucson, which is part of Pima County.

Only fragments in the rubble-wire nettings, a square of bathroom tile ?suggest that life ever existed in that place. Beyond the dust lawns, sudden green...
...White House July 30. Though the U.S. Olympic Committee went to pains to emphasize the importance of the Trials and call attention to a number of international events later this year for the qualifiers, most athletes agreed that an olive wreath by any other name does not smell as sweet. Said Al Oerter, 43, the discus thrower who won gold medals in the 1956, '60, '64, '68 Games and who was trying a comeback after twelve years of retirement: "This is not an Olympic Trials. I can tell because I've been sleeping. At past Trials...
