...lost nearly three pints of blood into the peritoneal space behind his abdominal cavity. He had yielded so much blood that the total volume in his system was too low to maintain adequate circulation-hence the shocklike condition. This results from a decrease in the heart's output and a change in tone in the small blood vessels. To restore the heart's normal output and raise the blood pressure, Nixon was given three pints of packed red blood cells. "If proper measures had not been available and instituted, he may have died," Lungren said later. Nixon...
...highest in almost three years and a rate exceeded only slightly and rarely since 1961. The Government's index of leading indicators-those that serve as clues to the future direction of the economy-fell 2.5% in September, its sharpest drop in more than 23 years. Productivity, or output per man-hour of the nation's workers, skidded at an annual rate of 3% in the third quarter. Falling productivity pushes up employers' labor costs and puts more upward pressure on prices. There was a smidgen of good news too: First National City Bank of New York...
...confront the problem of hunger. For twelve days, the delegates will discuss both a program to provide food for the starving and a drive to mobilize technological and financial aid from the wealthy industrial and oil-exporting states to help the 100 poorest nations increase their own food output. Also certain to be discussed is the critical problem of curtailing births. This is urgently needed to avoid fulfilling the nightmare of Parson Thomas Malthus, the English economist who predicted nearly two centuries ago that population would outrun man's capacity to produce food...
Then came 1972. Bad weather started to plague so much of the world's crop land that many experts conclude that the climate itself is changing (see story page 80). Harsh winters, droughts or typhoons cut output in the Soviet Union, Argentina, Australia, the Philippines and India. Off the coast of Peru, a change in ocean currents and overfishing decimated the anchovy catch, a major source of protein for animal feed. In Southeast Asia and parts of Africa, the peanut crop-providing mainly animal feed and cooking oil-fell far below normal. All told, the world's food...
...weather improved in 1973, but a new set of problems threatened food output, especially in the underdeveloped countries. Fertilizer was in short supply, and its price started to climb. Then came the devastating impact of the quadrupling of the market price of petroleum by the cartel of oil-possessing nations. Higher oil prices meant added costs for the farmer: pesticides, herbicides and nitrogen-based fertilizers are derived from petroleum, while the manufacture of all fertilizer requires much energy. The world price of nitrogen fertilizer jumped from...
