...that those polled represent the entire electorate, not those who will actually vote. "No one has found a reliable way of identifying those people most likely to come out to vote," explains Clark. "In general elections, people remember voting before, and you can rely on their memories. They tend to forget their own behavior patterns in previous primary elections...
...with seven children who have an appalling condition called juvenile laryngeal papillomatosis. In this disease, noncancerous, wartlike growths cover the vocal cords of the victim, sometimes filling up the entire larynx so that the child can barely breathe. The only treatment has been to cut them out, but they tend to recur quickly, requiring new surgery; one of Strander's patients had had 400 operations. Here too IF worked, though it was unclear whether its antiviral or antigrowth action was responsible. It diminished the growths in four cases and completely eliminated them in three. When the injections stop, though...
Fashion writers tend to suffer from an overfondness for airy prose and bubbly hyperbole. Wrote Mary Russell in the New York Times Magazine: "Colors are beautiful and subtle.

What one does not see is the same kind of quotation that artists, generally white, have taken from Africa (or their idea of Africa) since Picasso started using Bakota grave figures in his pre-cubist paintings. Picasso treated African art as raw material and cared nothing...
...discount rate, on some of the loans it makes to member banks. A bank borrowing from the Fed two weeks in a row, or more than four weeks in any quarter, will thus be charged 16%. If banks want to go ahead and borrow anyway, the move would tend to raise still higher the interest rates that they in turn charge when they lend the money to customers. Federal Reserve officials hope that banks will instead reduce both their borrowing from the Reserve and their own lending. Cutting down on loans to member banks would help the Federal Reserve...
