Regardless of just what may ail the newborn baby, the place to begin improving his chances for survival is in the delivery room, said Dr. Karlis Adamsons of Columbia University. As long as obstetricians use anesthetics and other drugs for the mother's (and their own) convenience and comfort, he said, they must improve surveillance of the infant during delivery. This means that they must use new techniques of sampling the baby's blood and monitoring its heart rate even before birth...
Beyond Western Europe and the U.S., there is an almost global glut of grains. Major advances in farming-such as the use of high-yield wheat strains in Asia, improved fertilizer and increased irrigation-have coincided with successive years of beneficent weather to produce a bumper crop of wheat. India and Pakistan, both traditional grain customers, have increased wheat production by 40% since 1966 and are now near self-sufficiency. The total stock in wheat-producing nations is 51 million metric tons, or almost the same amount of wheat that has been exported annually in world trade...
...hour and forty-seven minutes. She could have been a great character because many people right now are looking for something like her. But she has not been developed in the script as well as Miss Kreski plays her and, except for the physical image, you often have to use your imagination...
...only take a flyer at what would happen if dexedrine ever came into much wider use than it already is now here. (For one thing there would be more illness because using it a couple of times in a row really wrecks you for days.) But there would probably be a good deal more frittering away of time.

Miss Hodes quotes Professor Sacks' reference to the intruders as "barbarians." This may have been rather loose use of the term. On the other hand, the chairman of the meeting, Professor Pool, was precisely in point when, as he adjourned the meeting, he recalled the disruption of German universities in the 1930s and labeled the intruders "stormtroopers." Undoubtedly, as Miss Hodes says, the bulk of the intruders were students somewhere. A few, I know, were Harvard students. That they presumably had some intelligence makes all the more inexcusable their blatant violation of the right of others to meet together peacefully...
