...Last week as the two women received congratulations from friends and supporters, three more victims of the Irish Republican Army's Provisional unit were being buried: a prison guard who was machine-gunned in his car, a school-bus driver who was shot to death as he stopped on his route, and a woman private in the Ulster Defence Regiment, who was gunned down in her mobile home. The third group of attackers even turned their guns on their victim's terrified three-year-old daughter, sending bullets through the Teddy bear she was holding but leaving...
Elsewhere, he insists that "it was not playing for myself that had spurred my three-year-old ambition, but playing what others might want to hear and thus forging contacts between human beings."

A three-year-old boy admitted to Baragwanath Hospital for heart surgery had his operation postponed for five weeks until he was cured of a stubborn case of pneumonia. But after surgery he again developed pneumonia, and analysis of the guilty bacteria proved them to be similar to those identified in Durban. They were astonishingly resistant to penicillin and also to many newer antibiotics. In the boy's case, the hardy new pneumococci finally succumbed to combined doses of rifampin and fusidic acid, but doctors noted that he was already...
This week that resistance came out into the open. Greer and two other students informed Dr. Robert H. Ebert, dean of the Medical School, that 75 per cent of the third-year class had effectively agreed not to return to the school this fall unless the faculty rescinds a three-year-old ruling requiring students to concentrate in one of 12 areas...
