...fear may be important factors in throwing a weakened, damaged heart into fatal arrest. They give their patients two sedative drugs, promethazine and pethidine (a synthetic equivalent of morphine), to keep them in a light sleep for one to seven days; the average has been 2½ days. Nurses wake the patient three times a day for hygiene, to take liquid food, and to do leg exercises designed to prevent clot formation...
...shame at the tragic death of Dr. Martin Luther King. But there is a group that should feel infinitely more shame, and it is that minority (and thank God it is a minority) of black militants and their followers who have been rioting, or advocating such, in the wake of Dr. King's death. Who do they think they are fooling? In their hearts, Dr. King died a long time ago. They had abandoned him; they had not really cared, obviously, whether he lived or died; he was a thorn in their side. Their actions are not only making...
...Majestic Wake. It was a humbling experience for some of the 60 U.S. Congressmen who attended the funeral, and found themselves forced to wait outside.

He demanded a "moratorium on the vocabulary of violence." On Viet Nam: "The struggle for peace is not for the weak, the cowardly or the timid. It is for the brave and courageous." On the Administration's critics: "Deception, doubt and despair-that...
Riots in the wake of Martin Luther King's murder started a new exodus of business from the ghettos. In Washington, Baltimore, Chicago, Cincinnati and some other cities, many merchants whose stores were looted, vandalized and burned started pulling out. Most of them say they are leaving for good. "You can't get insurance around here," says Christ Boulahanis, whose hot-dog stand on Chicago's West Roosevelt Road was a total casualty. Near by, William Sheldon, the elderly owner of Sheldon Radio & TV shop, has nothing left after doing business in the same store...
