...abscesses, the doctors found, varied greatly in size, but as they grew their diseased walls became thinner and weaker. In 39 of the 40 cases studied, the abscess eventually burst. Its contents spilled into the blood flowing through the artery, and some blood flowed back into the abscess cavity...
What has matured in Bill Maitland is not himself but his fears, guilts and anxieties. His skin has become thinner, not thicker, and he flares up with the irascible sensitivity of thwarted desires, blighted hopes. He must flog a body that is losing its resilience, and he smells death's bad breath at dawn. He envies the young for being young and for possessing the integrity that has eroded in him, the appetite for life that has cloyed on his palate, and the courage that has been drowned. Locked in hell's isolation ward of self, he claws...
...demands. One of Abel's major goals was to win retirement on full pension after 30 years of work, reflecting a nationwide trend among unions to emphasize such fringe benefits as earlier retirement and longer vacations-mostly designed to soften the blow of automation by spreading the work thinner.

His men have...
...Rush. But this month the aneurysm grew rapidly. The elastic outer layer of the aorta was being stretched thinner and thinner, with increasing danger that it might burst and loose a fatal flood of blood into the abdominal cavity. Dr. Antenucci ordered X rays, which showed that the aneurysm had increased in size, and within a week had grown bigger than an orange. The beat of the blood pulsing through it could be felt by the doctor's hand. And it was in an especially dangerous location, below the branching of the kidney arteries (see diagram). It was time...
...brightest hope for improved earnings, however, lies in technological advance. Pipeline companies this year will buy 1,600,000 tons of pipe from steel companies, which have steadily made their pipes longer, stronger and thinner-walled. The proposed Trans-Canada line, for example, would safely cross 45 miles of current in the Straits of Mackinac with improved pipe, and pipe has been laid 170 ft. deep in the Gulf of Mexico. By developing underground storage vaults, gas companies have also been able to keep up with heavy winter demand and prop up summer prices. In the marshy New Jersey meadows...
