...white. The jury is still out on whether it is safe to withhold blood, and large-scale clinical trials have yet to be performed. Last year an nih-funded study tried to get some answers. Dr. Jeffrey Carson, chief of the division of general internal medicine at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Brunswick, N.J., studied records of 1,950 bloodless-surgery patients in an effort to determine the relationship between patients' hemoglobin levels and the risk of dying or developing complications after surgery...
...those who wear it can run, climb trees and pedal bicycles--and its low price. While a prosthesis for a similar level of amputation can cost several thousand dollars in the U.S., the Jaipur foot costs only $28 in India. Sublimely low-tech, it is made of rubber (mostly), wood and aluminum and can be assembled with local materials. In Afghanistan craftsmen hammer the foot together out of spent artillery shells. In Cambodia, where roughly 1 out of every 380 people is a war amputee, part of the foot's rubber components are scavenged from truck tires...

The tightest-fisted among us would not want to turn around and see Rancho del Subdivision--though in this case commercial development seems a tad unlikely, given the rugged terrain 2,000 ft. up a narrow, twisting seven-mile road. But Paul Pritchard, president of the National Park Trust...
...people of color-do not have adequate representation on the Council. Building a truly representative body is like building anything: You do it better with the right tools. Sure, we can stand on each others' shoulders to build a wall with a hammer, a few nails, and some scrap wood. But wouldn't the wall be stronger if we had power tools, screws, drywall and a ladder? Until a previously underrepresented group achieves a critical mass within a representative body, important issues are left untouched. We saw this in Congress with the 1992 elections. Remember "The Year of the Woman...
