...Such attacks occur all too frequently in the U.S., striking one American every 21 seconds. They can hit suddenly, without any obvious hint of previous disease, when coronary arteries pinch shut in a spasm. But they usually result from a lifelong buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries that nourish the heart. If these coronary vessels become badly obstructed, the flow of vital blood and oxygen is reduced or cut off entirely. When that happens, parts of the heart are starved. It is the death of cardiac muscle that constitutes a heart attack...
...rebuild roads, enlarge ports or repair bridges. But neither can the U.S. continue its past policy of "build it and forget it." The longer that needed restoration is postponed, the more costly it becomes.

He easily defeated his Republican opponent, scrappy former Governor Arch Moore, 57, but at an eyebrow-raising cost: Rockefeller spent an estimated $9.5 million, all but $200,000 of it from his personal funds. When a final accounting is made, he may beat the gubernatorial record of $10 million spent by his Uncle Nelson in New York...
