...write shorter letters than Bulganin, but he talks longer, oftener, and with more asides, anecdotes, wit and rhetorical questions than any other head of state. Last week, back in Moscow from eight days of spellbinding in Hungary, Khrushchev mounted a rostrum in Luzhniki Sports Palace, apologized for a strained throat, and then went at it for 45 minutes, getting more laughs and a bigger hand from his hometown audience than he got for all of his speechifying before numbed Hungarians...
...operators using either the Schafer or Nielsen methods under field conditions could move enough air into a victim to maintain adequate oxygenation of his blood. Reason : a rescuer's hands are not free to keep the victim's chin up and ensure free air passage through his throat...
...deflate. The cycle is repeated at a rate of 20 inflations per minute until revival. For even more efficient operation (and to spare the finicky rescuer from intimate contact with more messy victims such as drunks), a rubber blowpipe with an S curve has been devised to fit the throat, prevent air from entering the stomach. Of 87 mostly untrained operators who tried the tube for the first time, say the researchers, none failed to revive his victim. Conclusion: all lifeguards, policemen, firemen and other official rescuers should carry such a pocket-size tube...
...vaccine, others to get only an inert substance for comparison. Dr. Ritchie wasted no time chasing the will-o'-the-wisp virus (or viruses) that cause the first stages of a cold. He concentrated on the bacteria, believing that they cause the most distressing middle stages. He took throat swabs and saliva from his subjects, threw away those from the 75 controls. From the other 109 he cultured the bacteria to make sure there were no deadly strains among them, then hand-tailored an individual "autogenous vaccine" for each subject. Injections were given weekly...
...tetracycline group in 581 volunteers, and an inert tablet for comparison in 338 others. Results were slightly better than with the vaccine: 26 full colds per 100 volunteers on dummy tablets, only four per 100 on the antibiotics. In some cases the antibiotics caused severe irritation (sore throat or "flayed tongue"); vitamins are being tried to prevent this effect...
