...Negro companion had been hired by Peel, Holzapfel said, to kill Judge Chillingworth for $2,000. Mrs. Chillingworth was an accidental victim because she witnessed the assault on her husband. The two were taken from their home to a waiting boat on the beach and taken four miles offshore. There, trussed in chains and 30-lb. weights, they were quietly dropped over the side. Mrs. Chillingworth was the first to die: "Ladies first," said Holzapfel politely, as he pushed her overboard. The judge, a strong swimmer, struggled in the water and nearly managed to escape, but a blow from...
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. Such people, so the traditional medical argument runs, should thank their stars that the same factors that often produce fatal attacks in others have caused them only temporary indisposition. But last week Philadelphia's Dr. William Likoff somberly warned the AHA that the "mild coronary" may have more cause for ap prehension than...
...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...
Threatened Control. The human personality is peculiarly vulnerable to the shock of a sudden assault from behind, argue Drs. Leopold and Dillon. This, they theorize, may trigger a "denial mechanism" that prevents the victim from coming to terms emotionally with the meaning and discomfort of his injury. They add: "The fact that the head and neck are the sites of injury adds to this distortion . . . almost as if the ego unconsciously perceives that the control (head) can be severed from the body. It is our thesis that the whiplash injury is psychologically unique in that both its suddenness...
...born on Christmas Eve and will inevitably turn out to be a Kaous. A Kaous is an impish little devil, complete with horns, hoofs and pointed ears, descended from Pan. He circulates after dark, croaking, "Feathers or lead?" Either answer may be wrong, after which the Kaous mounts his victim like a horse for a breakneck ride across country, lashing him all the while with a stick...
