Electronic gadgetry is turning campaign operations into models of efficiency. The staff of Illinois Democrat Paul Simon, for example, distributes the candidate's daily schedules to reporters not by messenger but by facsimile machine, which can transmit a typewritten page over telephone lines in 30 seconds or less. The personal assistants of Tennessee Democrat Albert Gore and Missouri Democrat Richard Gephardt are never far from their laptop computers, which they plug into telephone jacks at least once a day to exchange missives with far-flung operatives or to read the latest word from their Washington offices. When a blizzard last...
First developed three decades ago, the small battery-operated devices transmit electrical impulses that correct both irregular and slow heartbeats. However, many abnormal rhythms do not warrant pacemakers; some may be caused by medication or associated with circulatory problems. When Greenspan and his colleagues reviewed the 1983 medical charts for 382 Philadelphia-area pacemaker patients, they found that 20% of the implants were completely unnecessary and 36% were not adequately justified. The solution, he argues, includes better training for physicians and more diagnostic tests...

Among the theories: a disturbance in the body's natural clock and abnormal production of melatonin, a hormone manufactured in the brain, and serotonin, a chemical that helps transmit nerve impulses...
...opposition to the use of condoms by married and unmarried persons alike, the bishops will now reluctantly accept the publicizing of information on the devices in public- education campaigns and school classes. Some people simply "will not refrain from the type of sexual or drug-abuse behavior which can transmit AIDS," the bishops acknowledged. But, they stated, AIDS education must emphasize that to stem the disease, "abstinence outside of marriage and fidelity within marriage, as well as the avoidance of intravenous drug abuse, are the only morally correct and medically sure ways...
...such close encounter in the annals of interplanetary travel. Then, five months before reaching Jupiter near the end of 1995, Galileo is to release a 730-lb. probe that will become the first man-made object to penetrate the gaseous atmosphere of the planet. Its instruments are expected to transmit data on the Jovian atmosphere for about 75 minutes before being silenced by the planet's intense atmospheric pressure. Galileo is next scheduled to settle into a two-year-long orbit of Jupiter that will enable it to make detailed studies of the planet and four of its moons...
