...Harvard Researcher Beecher found that sugar pills work one-third of the time in treating conditions ranging from headache and seasickness to wound pain. Levine and Fields of U.C.S.F. have reported that a placebo was capable of mimicking the effect of four to six milligrams of morphine, a mild dose, in patients suffering the pain of tooth extractions. U.C.S.F. researchers have also shown that the placebo effect is partly due to the stimulation of the body's endorphin system. When the action of endorphins is inhibited (by using a powerful opiate-blocking agent), placebos may not work...

Sometimes he shows mild irritation and gives his head a shake of disbelief while answering his own question: "I keep reading that the Soviets think we are threatening their security." Reagan has rejected that notion, and so has his Secretary of State, George Shultz...
Between the euphoria of the Salvadoran election outcome and the urgency of Reagan's address, the Administration's pitch to Congress produced a quick success. The Representatives attached only a relatively mild proviso to the aid bill, requiring the President to report periodically on El Salvador's progress in ending human rights abuses, most notably those of the country's predominantly right-wing death squads (see following story). Said a senior State Department official: "That's the best of both worlds...
