Exceedingly few people develop herpes simplex encephalitis, a brain inflammation produced by the same virus that causes, among other things, the common cold sore. Those who do are unfortunate indeed. Fever, recurrent headaches, personality changes and seizures often afflict the victim, though the disease can be definitely confirmed only by brain biopsy. Once it starts, moreover, it steadily gets worse. People with herpes encephalitis almost invariably become comatose, then die; survivors nearly always suffer brain damage, frequently so severe as to require institutionalization...
...sore point is that middle-income parents may be exploiting a loophole in Health, Education and Welfare student-aid regulations to use money-totaling $3 billion this year-that might otherwise go to needier families. The trick: to plan ahead and not claim the college-bound child as an income tax exemption. The federal basic grants program considers any student not receiving more than $600 a year from his parents "independent" and thus eligible...
...plastic fantasy. Obviously, such critics have never been tugged by tireless children through seven-plus hours (the average time spent per park per family) of short rides and long lines, mini-zoos and maxi-queues, live shows, deadly lines, fast food, slow lines, indigestion, blurred vision and pedialgia (sore feet). In fact, the vast majority of the 80 million people who will visit theme parks this year are involved, tireless and eclectic in their pursuit of pleasure...
...Unlike Bold Forbes, last year's speedball, he is amenable to racing tactics. His scanty schedule contrasts with Majestic Prince, who in 1969 also came to the Belmont unbeaten, but was a raced-out, exhausted horse. In a punishing run with Arts and Letters, Majestic Prince placed second; sore-legged and spent, he never raced again. Turner, Owners Karen and Mickey Taylor, and Veterinarian Jim and Sally Hill determined that the same fate would not befall Seattle Slew...
...flood of Japanese TV sets on the U.S. market has long been a sore point with American TV manufacturers and labor unions. By one estimate, 70,000 jobs have been lost to Japanese imports, which last year accounted for 2.9 million sets, or 38% of the domestic market. In May, the Carter Administration worked out a deal with Japanese makers to limit imports. But now the picture is darkening again; U.S. Government investigators are probing charges that Japanese manufacturers have been making illegal kickbacks to U.S. importers as a way of getting around federal "antidumping" regulations, and selling color...
