...years before Congolese independence, Belgium's starchly paternalistic colonial officials were fond of boasting that the standard of medical care in the Congo was the highest in all Africa. Last week the boast sounded more hypocritical than Hippocratic...
Many doctors reason that the victim of a mild heart attack is uniquely blessed. Standard treatment for such attacks involves no prolonged restrictions or use of anticoagulants; most patients are up and around after three weeks of bed rest and quickly return to normal activity.

...Likoff - himself the victim of a severe coronary four years ago - based his case on a five-year study of 100 patients who had suffered mild heart at tacks (at an average age of 47.7) and recovered with standard treatment. After recovery, 46 of the 100 patients resumed regular activity, reported no angina or other subjective symptoms of coronary insufficiency. Nonetheless, ten of the 46 suffered second attacks within the five-year period, and one died. The other 54 patients, although apparently recovered, complained of chronic angina. Of these, 38 were again stricken before the five years had passed...

Last week Colorado defeated Oklahoma, 7-0, to stay tied for the conference lead with Missouri, which brushed past Nebraska...
...From the beleaguered oil industry, long plagued by surpluses and price cutting, the news was good across the board. Jersey Standard had indicated third-quarter earnings of 86? per share, up from 75?, boosting its nine-month profits to $2.31 per share from $2.22. Gulf Oil third-quarter profits were 79? per share, up from 72?; Sun Oil, $1.20, up from 87?; Texaco, $1.68, up from $1.63; Tidewater, 85?, up from...
