Wayne Anderson won his semifinal heat in the 50-yd. dash in the fine time of :05.4. But after a few controversial false starts in the finals, the Crimson captain was caught in the blocks and wound up out of the money...
...toxicology of snake venoms after his prized dog died of a rattlesnake bite. In the laboratory he extracted snake venom, purified it, laced it with radioactive iodine-131, and injected it into the hind legs of dogs. Most of the venom stayed in the immediate area of an untreated wound for about 20 minutes, Dr. Snyder found, but with a tourniquet around the leg it stayed in place almost twice as long. Crosscutting and suction removed very little venom, so Surgeon Snyder decided that the most effective way to get rid of it was to cut out a disk...
Immediate first aid for snake bite still consists of applying a tourniquet between the wound and the heart-slack enough, says Dr. Snyder, for a finger to pass between the bandage and the limb. Then a dash to the hospital, where antivenom is given after the surgery. If a hunter is hours away from a hospital, he may even be able to perform the emergency surgery himself, because snake venom acts as a mild local anesthetic and leaves the bite area numb...
...suffer cutbacks in favor of any spending for the B-2707. Seeking a $200 million supplemental appropriation for SST design work last August, the White House anticipated routine approval. Instead, Wisconsin's William Proxmire led an attack on the project, damned it as "a jet-set frill," finally wound up on the short end of a vote more narrow than anyone expected.

...national degradation" as a Nazi collaborator. Reprieved but unforgiven, he lived his last years as a recluse in a Paris suburb, seeing only his loyal wife. Yet this same man was a hero of World War I for a voluntary exploit in which he suffered a severe head wound. Brain injury left him hallucinated, plagued by noises in his head, an insomniac whose sanity was often questioned. Despite this, he became a physician and, under his real name, Dr. Henri-Louis Destouches, he chose to live among the poor of Paris, often practicing without...
