...most are aimed at small special-interest groups, and if the press reports them, such pronouncements usually wind up in puny paragraphs between the obituaries and the recipes. Above all, candidates give short shrift to many issues because the people themselves are uninterested. Talk about the gold outflow or trade protectionism makes audiences nod and yawn. It is a political axiom, and one of democracy's dilemmas, that only one issue per campaign, or two or three at most, can grab and hold the public...
From the outset, the war between Nigeria and secessionist Biafra loomed as an unequal contest. It was not surprising that, as in the earlier Congo conflicts, foreign mercenaries were drawn to Biafra to practice their trade: fighting. Nor was it surprising that the beleaguered Biafrans accepted their services-despite the fact that mercenaries can be narrow, violent men who often harbor a deep contempt for Africans.

Liefmann is now appealing in the Quebec courts against a medical board decision suspending him from practice for five years, for allowing unlicensed assistants to give his treatment...
...enough pediatric psychiatrists to treat them all, and most of them get no farther than the family doctor's office. Dr. Martin, a family physician, told the American Academy of General Practice what he has found works best: a daily dose of three or four tablets of methylphenidate, trade-named Ritalin by the Ciba Pharmaceutical...
