...detect many early cancers which otherwise defy diagnosis is by studying the cells in a minute quantity of fluid taken from the bone marrow (usually breastbone) through a large-bore needle, reported researchers at Ontario's Hamilton General Hospital. Even when cancer is not directly suspected, and when the symptoms are such common ones as anemia, fatigue, loss of weight, or changes in the white blood-cell count, they often find telltale cancer cells in the marrow. After running the tests on 4,100 patients, they now make them routinely in all cases where diagnosis is in doubt...
...cell in the Nicosia Central Prison's Block 8, a haggard young (23) tax clerk named Michael Karaolis told his blackshawled mother: "They're going to hang me." From the next cell Andreas Demetriou, also 23, and awaiting a similar fate, shouted the news to prisoners down the row. Field Marshal Sir John Harding, the doughty little Governor of Cyprus, had made a soldier's unpleasant decision: finding "no grounds for exercising Royal Prerogative of Mercy," the two young Greek Cypriots must hang...

Financed by the Air Force, Ryan started by testing an almost bare jet engine in a concrete cell, where it rose and fell like a captive balloon. Gradually Ryan added the wings and other makings of a real airplane, and shipped the result last summer to Edwards Air Force Base in the Mojave Desert for flight testing...
...happy day for the inmates at Luzira. Since it was McKerrow who paid the prison's pipers, he it was who called the tunes. He established an official clubroom in his cell to beguile the prisoners' weary hours with brandy, gin, whisky, cigarettes and regularly delivered copies of British racing forms. For a while the club kept an open stock of canned tidbits, but McKerrow soon had to lock them up because one dishonest prisoner took to pinching the stores. Each evening the select prisoners would dispatch willing warders to place their bets with local bookies...
...accountant in England. Last week he was reluctantly forced to write his prospective employers to tell them that he might be delayed in reporting for duty. A shortage of $1.400 in the prison books and a considerable cache of money found in Mc-Kerrow's cell led to an investigation, a trial, and the sentencing of Robert John Edwin McKerrow to 18 months more at "hard" labor...
