...didn't belong there. Daytona's Number One Psychedelic Nite Spot draws some junior high kids whose parents belong to Oceanside Country Club and to the Palmetto Club Juniors. (Mom or Dad let off Flea and Susy about nine on Main Street, and pick 'em up in their Toronado halfway through the Johnny Carson show. They couldn't have done that when the bikies ran the "Q," but there haven't been any busted lips or broken chairs for a couple of years since the town started shooting speed away from the Speedway.) Gayle was nice, she was going...
...objective of most hospitals is to operate in the black. For generations, U.S. hospitals achieved this by paying little or nothing to interns, residents, student nurses and "nonprofessional" help. Social justice has caught up with the hospitals and found them totally unprepared. They have to pay interns and residents halfway decent salaries ($9,000 to $12,000 in some areas). What has hit them hardest is the demand of scrubwomen, kitchen help and janitors to be paid what is called a living wage.

Either way, the tick's bite gets the microbe into the bloodstream, where it multiplies. It soon causes high fever, splitting headache, severe muscle aches and mental confusion. Many other diseases produce similar symptoms, but spotted fever...
Village Shelters. As a halfway measure, Lebanon's army began training border-village leaders in firearms, and announced that it is building concrete bomb shelters. They are not likely to be enough. Israel has repeatedly warned that Lebanon will be held responsible for any raids from its territory by Arab fedayeen. That policy plays into the guerrillas' hands, since they are determined to enlist Lebanon, willingly or not, in their cause...
