...ready. Prominent Senators leaned hard on him. Glenn would not budge. His position: as soon as adequate verification was reinstated, he would vote for the treaty. The President, frustrated at what he considered Glenn's tunnel vision, telephoned him at home early one morning to complain further. Carter afterward told his staff he had never been so mad at anyone in his life. Glenn says he never thought he would hear himself talk to a President that way. "It hurt the country," one of the men who tried to persuade him remembers. "Glenn's stand was always principled...
...live with his father, a decision that merely added to his misery and guilt. A year after the divorce, in 1934, Ruth was dead. Broun Sr., a lifelong atheist, converted to Roman Catholicism shortly before his death at 51. He left behind a bewildered preppie who, for years afterward, wanted only "to set up a house where my parents could go on living, a place with three floors and a basement, one floor for each of us and a basement where we could all get together...
...Senate, the majority of members are willing to give the Administration the benefit of the doubt, at least for a while.

Data Resources expects such investments to grow at a steady 5% pace for the next two years...
...concentrations of potent chemicals called neurotransmitters, which act as messengers between nerve cells. Among these messengers: serotonin, epinephrine (previously called adrenaline), norepinephrine, acetylcholine and dopamine. In a study at Stanford, rats were forced to swim in 4°C water for three minutes. Examination of their brain tissue afterward revealed that levels of norepinephrine had fallen 20% and epinephrine 30% to 40%. Scientists also discovered that the body produces its own painkillers, morphine-like chemicals named endorphins. Stress boosts the production of these an algesics, raising the pain threshold. This may explain the mystery of why seriously injured soldiers often...
