...disappointed, upset, consternated and even hurt at seeing this," said Dr. S. Hakki Onen, a sleep specialist and geriatrician with the Hôpital Gériatrique A. Charial, part of the Hospices Civils de Lyon in France. "To see [the research] used in this manner is upsetting because [the CIA's] goals run counter to the therapeutic intent of our effort ... In publishing clinical findings like this, you're aware you lose control of them, because they can be read and even abused by people who may have other objectives in mind...
That point is central to a new study by Valérie Simard of Hôpital de Sacré-Coeur in Montréal, which examines the link between parents' bedtime behavior and sleep disturbances in children during infancy and early childhood. Simard administered yearly questionnaires to 987 parents, whose children were 5 months old at the start of the study. She found that certain "maladaptive" parental habits - such as the mother staying with the child until he or she fell asleep, or the parent giving a child food or drink upon nighttime awakening - appeared to develop in response...
...Leary agrees it was large (almost four quarts) but says the rate of loss is more important than the vol ume. Reagan's blood loss was steady, not gushing, and doctors had no trouble in compensating with transfusions. The ma jority of gunshot victims come into a hos pital much worse off, O'Leary says.

His L 'Hôpital has a jolting impact: beyond the window is the peaceful French village where Dado now lives. Inside, a demon in the shape of an owl crouches by the central crucifix, near the dancing man and his maimed and malevolent companion. A rotund dwarf grins and looks away. What does...
...hero's life worsens, so do his eyes. Scorning pity-and grateful to get out of the house-Wilson enters the hos pital for an operation that checks his on coming blindness but leaves him only barely sighted, though able to draw. His first opus after the operation is an antiwar parable, actually Thurber's The Last Flower, which the film makers have seen fit to animate. When Wilson's young stepdaughter visits him one day and sees the cartoon, her stammer is cured. Reconciliation with Terry can not be far behind...
