Unity for Now. Since the new junta consists of non-Baathist rightists and centrists as well as Al-Bakr and his friends, an inner power struggle may develop. Showing unity for the moment at least, the new rulers went through the standard motions of damning the previous regime and delivering vague promises of "national unity" and coming democracy. Aref and his backers, they said with customary hyperbole, were "opportunists, thieves, ignorant, illiterate Zionist spies...
...machine is about the size of a bread box and weighs only 28 lbs. It can be wheeled into a factory or installed in an out-patient ward, plugged into any standard electrical socket, and can handle as many as 20 subjects an hour. To achieve this simplicity and speed, the machine records only five electrical stimuli per heartbeat, as against the standard machine's 13. These five are sufficient for basic screening. Since what is adjudged normal in an ECG varies with the subject's age, early models of the analyzer were set for use on only...
...aerial photography. Since the infra-red film is sensitive to heat, geothermal areas are likely to show up lighter in the picture. Another method measures the earth's electrical conductivity, which increases with the presence of subsurface hot water. To tap the subterranean energy, engineers drill with standard oil rigs, going down as little as 600 ft. or as much as 8,000 ft., the depth of the world's deepest steam well at Salton Sea near Brawley, Calif...
Married. Princess Peggy d'Arenberg, 35, blonde jet setter and oil (Jersey Standard) heiress; and the Duc d'Uzés, 40, darkly handsome French nobleman (his title is the oldest in France); she for the third time, he for the second; in Marrakesh, Morocco...
Seeking a cheaper kidney machine, the inventive Kolff has used standard washing machines to slosh the outer bath, sausage casing for the blood coil, and 46-oz. fruit-juice cans as disposable blood-coil holders. Now he has devised a way to run the machines without a blood pump. Kolff's machines are in the $400 to $700 price range. Another excellent model, now being used at home by about 150 patients, was developed by the University of Maryland's Dr. William G. Esmond. It costs about $600, a far cry from the $7,000 price tag for some standard...
