...nurse, the U.S. seems to be running dry. It gives less in foreign aid, as a percentage of the nation's wealth, than France, Australia, Portugal, The Netherlands, Germany and Belgium.

With mounting pressures, including a virtual ultimatum to the Czechoslovak nation, Russia did everything that it could, short of sending tanks to halt and reverse the reform program led by Party Boss Alexander Dubček.

Another reason is that there are too few expert cardiologists to read all the ECGs now taken, let alone the millions more that a truly effective preventive-medicine program would demand. Now, in an application of transistor-age electronics, a compact new machine enables technicians to do the initial screening, and select for the cardiologists' attention only those ECGs that contain warning evidence of abnormalities...
