...take only so much. With nearly every article written in the hortatory mood, one longs for a descriptive piece, a reminiscence or a burst of wit (such as have appeared in previous issues). For though the October Current covers a rich variety of subjects, its tone remains lamentably uniform. Those interested in hearing the views of articulate Catholic intellectuals will still find the journal valuable; but the present issue should be read in small doses...
Testing their theory was difficult because the blood's viscosity is not uniform in any one patient at any one moment : it probably hits momentary peaks in the coronary arteries, where it cannot be measured directly. As a guide to viscosity, Drs. Burch and DePasquale took readings with a hematocrit - an instrument that measures the concentration of red cells in a centrifuged blood sample. The normal range is 40% to 50%. Most of their heart-disease patients had readings of up to 56%. Patient after patient obtained relief from repeated angina attacks, which cause fierce pain in the chest...

It's not just a matter of hurling slogans. Are we playing the right game...
...they stress sports, discipline, manners, religion and democracy. To teach well, they accent intimate learning in classes that average nine students compared with the public school average of 28. Avoiding distractions, they generally offer spartan living on spacious, tradition-encrusted campuses, most of them in the Northeast. Despite these uniform methods, the schools that operate 24 hours a day come in all shapes and sizes...
