...revolutionary's heart. Getting tough, police fired tear gas, concussion grenades, slashed any head within range of their long, hard-rubber truncheons. In all, some 30 fierce battles erupted throughout Paris, and the city authorities sent out emergency calls for doctors to report to the Sorbonne medical school to treat hundreds of wounded rioters and police. All told, 130 policemen and 447 civilians were injured, 795 rioters were arrested. Fighting also broke out in other large French cities, including Lyon, where the first riot death occurred when a police commissioner was crushed in a mob of rampaging students...
...Patterning" is a rigid physical treatment for children handicapped by brain damage, mental retardation or reading disabilities. It has received widespread publicity, and is now being used to treat 10,000 children in the U.S. and abroad. Some of them appear to have responded to the treatment. But while the parents involved have become ardent disciples, medical men have seriously questioned the theory underlying the method. This month, ten major medical and health organizations* stated categorically that patterning was "without merit" and chided its inventors for claiming cures without documentation...
...interruption of a child's normal progress from creeping to crawling to walking. Discarding standard evaluation systems and using an elaborate diagnostic scheme of their own, Doman and Delacato classify retarded children in three questionable "profile" groups: 1) truly brain-injured. 2) psychotic, 3) genetically brain-deficient. They treat children in any of these groups who have presumably skipped one or more of the creep-crawl-walk stages by prescribing a compulsory retracing of the process.

Connie, Carey, Richard, Kenney, and David the drummer made up quite a crew...
...virus. A cancer cell has broken out of the normal limits on its growth and function. If scientists can discover what makes cells less stable in their commitment to a limited, differentiated career, and thus more liable to become cancerous, he might be able to find ways to treat this process. Yet Kafatos repeatedly emphasizes the fact that he is still distant from tangible results in his research. He said, in addition, that not only are scientists working on cell differentiation far from answers, but they are still groping for the right questions. "It's a great field...
