...These are the tragic consequences of a lack of prudence," Cyrankiewicz told the nation. "Hostile forces are trying to create new centers of anarchy, disturb the rhythm of normal work in factories and disorganize the life of the country." They included anarchists, hooligans and criminal elements, he said. He threatened that "organs of militia, the security service and cooperating organs are under obligation to take up all legal means of enforcement-including the use of weapons against all persons committing acts of violence...
Different Ending. Probably Simon is too normal (if the word does not sound pejorative) to intuit the inner nature of the characters he has put onstage. He is too self-disciplined, too efficient, too morally responsible, ever to be able to understand an Evy except from the outside. Laughter is a form of incessant motion in Simon's work.

...work of another researcher, Makio Murayama of the National Institutes of Health. Murayama discovered that the sickle-cell shape is caused by an abnormal bonding between hemoglobin molecules in the red cells. Using this knowledge, Nalbandian's team decided to try urea, a waste substance produced by the normal human liver and excreted in the urine. As they knew, urea can dissolve certain types of molecular bonds. Their experiment worked: urea broke the bond between the hemoglobin molecules, halted the sickling effect, and relieved the victims' pain...
