Temptation from the restaurant and supermarket on either side of the Hunger Show has already claimed 20 protesters. The hundred which remain are sustained inside a transparent plastic enclosure by water rations and emergency health services...
Dandy Walk. The onset of the epidemic coincided with the end of the summer floods. The worst in the country's history, they polluted municipal water supplies, damaged sanitation facilities and dotted the Hanoi area with myriad mud puddles. And even the smallest will do for A. aegypti-"the water in a stalk of bamboo is enough to get them going," says one authority. They are among the most urbanized agents of epidemic: they breed and live in or near human habitation and readily, even preferentially, bite man. To boot, they are all but exclusively daylight and twilight feeders...
Bangkok's populace has been advised to empty standing containers of water, to fill in ruts, potholes and other potential mosquito-breeding sites. Hanoi newspapers are urging the citizenry to "kill mosquitoes and larvae, prevent mosquitoes from biting," and closely supervise "daily sanitation in houses, gardens and streets." There is neither a preventive vaccine nor a specific cure for the fever. A patient's biggest asset is a constitution strong enough to see him through the five or six critical days. Treatment is palliative at best. The most advanced medication suggested by Hanoi authorities is a fermented mixture...
...least, he seems to have a better shot at an Emmy than at the Rookie of the Year award. Not that O.J. has been a flop on the field. Buffalo Bills Coach John Rauch boasts that the only thing his fleet young halfback cannot do is walk on water. After two fitful performances, O.J. finally showed his wares last week, carrying the ball 24 times for 110 yds. and catching five passes -one for a touchdown-as the Bills defeated the Denver Broncos 41-28. But much of O.J.'s luster has been diminished by the brilliance...
Dexter's wavemaking apparatus is fairly simple. Hydraulic pumps force millions of gallons of water per hour into a concrete reservoir at the far end of the lagoon. Underwater gates spring open at intervals, releasing the water and generating the waves. The size of the waves is controlled by the amount of water pumped into the reservoir and no two curls are exactly the same. Riders can climb stairways directly to the waves instead of paddling out from shore. Though the fresh water is less buoyant than seawater, the difference to the surfer is negligible...
