M , 1966 3 Monday morning he attended a meeting with a dozen or so of his company associates. They discussed the expanded role of Social Security and Veteran.: benefits in planning an individual's future resources. Looking around the room, he guessed the men averaged sixteen or seventeen thousand dollars a year. A good group, he thought. Tuesday he lunched with a trust officer from one of the local banks. It was business, but pleasant. They had to iron out the effects of the gift tax aspects of a new trust fund set up for the son of a common client. When it was over he thought he'd broadened his knowledge a bit ... and perhaps the banker's as well. Wednesday called for careful preparation. It was the day of his presentation to the trustees of the biggest hospital in the state. They had been intrigued by his initial ideas concerning tax-sheltered annuities for their employees. And they wanted a detailed recommendation. They got it. Thursday he presented a check for $32,160 to a widow with four youngsters. Friday was tiring, but satisfying. He saw four pro peets in the morning, delivered a committee report on a proposed Arts Festival at a Chamber of Commerce luncheon, spent the balance of the afternoon with a doctor-client, working up a personal pension plan and wound up the day at a fathers-sons Boy Scout banquet. It had been a good week, a more or less typical week, in a career he enioyed. Who was he? Oh, just a life insurance salesman. A Phoenix Mutual Life insurance salesman. You could do what he does, meet the people he meets, make his kind of money. Or could you? There's a way to find out, and in confidence.

  • Re-Thinking the Language of Pain in the Works of Marguerite Duras and Frida Kahlo
    Re-thinking the Language of Pain in the Works of Marguerite Duras and Frida Kahlo Regina F. Bartolone A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by: Dr. Martine Antle (advisor) Dr. Marsha Collins (reader) Dr. Maria DeGuzmán (reader) Dr. Dominque Fisher (reader) Dr. Diane Leonard (reader) Abstract Regina F.Bartolone Re-Thinking the Language of Pain in the Works of Marguerite Duras and Frida Kahlo (Under the direction of Dr. Martine Antle) This dissertation is a cross-cultural examination of the creation and the socio- cultural implications of the languages of pain in the works of French author, Marguerite Duras and Mexican painter, Frida Kahlo. Recent studies have determined that discursive communication is insufficient in expressing one’s pain. In particular, Elaine Scarry maintains that pain destroys language and that its victims must rely on the vocabulary of other cultural spheres in order to express their pain. The problem is that neither Scarry nor any other Western pain scholar can provide an alternative to discursive language to express pain. This study claims that both artists must work beyond their own cultural registers in order to give their pain a language. In the process of expressing their suffering, Duras and Kahlo subvert traditional literary and artistic conventions. Through challenging literary and artistic forms, they begin to re-think and ultimately re-define the way their readers and viewers understand feminine subjectivity, colonial and wartime occupation, personal tragedy, the female body, Christianity and Western hegemony.

  • Middle-Ear Barotrauma After Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
    UHM 2010, Vol. 37, No. 4 – MIDDLE-EAR BAROTRAUMA AFTER HBO2 Middle-ear barotrauma after hyperbaric oxygen therapy JACQUES BESSEREAU 1,2, ALEXIS TABAH 2,3, NICOLAS GENOTELLE 2, ADRIEN FRANÇAIS 3, MATHIEU COULANGE 1, DJILLALI ANNANE 2 1 Hyperbaric Medicine Centre, Pôle RUSH, Sainte-Marguerite Hospital, Marseille, France; 2 Intensive Care Unit and Hyperbaric Medicine, Raymond Poincaré Hospital, Garches, France; 3 INSERM U823; university Grenoble 1 –Albert Bonniot Institute, Grenoble, France CORRESPONDING AUTHOR: Dr. Alexis Tabah – [email protected] ABSTRACT Background: Middle-ear barotrauma (MEB) is one of the most common side effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2). The incidence of MEB has been shown to vary between treatment centers and patients. This study was aimed to determine which patients are at high risk of MEB. Materials and methods: Prospective study including all the patients treated in a multiplace HBO2 chamber between January and December 2005. Scoring of MEB before and after HBO2 by otoscopy was performed using the Haines and Harris classification. Results: We included 130 patients: 53 Males, 37.5 ± 20.5 years old; 76% were treated for CO poisoning, 11% for iatrogenic gas embolism, 12% for decompression sickness and 4% for necrotizing soft tissue infection. 13% were intubated. MEB occurred in 13.6% of the patients (12.4% of the conscious and 24.4% of the intubated patients, p=0.26). Risk factors for MEB were: repetitive treatments and difficulties with pressure equalization. There was no influence of age, sex or mechanical ventilation on the occurrence of MEB. Conclusions: MEB induced by HBO2 occurred in 13.6% of the patients.

Methods: Thirty-six consecutive patients with ARF treated by NPPV were matched for diagnosis, age within 5 years, sex, preoperative radiochemotherapy and Charlson co-morbidity index with 36 patients who received conventional treatment (control group). Results: NPPV was associated with a lower reintubation rate (nine versus 23 patients; P = 0·008), lower frequency of acute respiratory distress syndrome (eight versus 19 patients; P = 0·015), and a reduction in intensive care stay (mean(s.d.) 14(13) versus 22(18) days; P = 0·034). Anastomotic leakage was less common in patients receiving NPPV (two versus ten; P = 0·027). These patients also showed a greater improvement in gas exchange in the first 3 days after onset of ARF (P = 0·013). Conclusion: The use of NPPV for the treatment of postoperative ARF may decrease the incidence of endotracheal intubation and related complications, without increasing the risk of anastomotic leakage after oesophagectomy.

We also thank our editor Julia Serebrinsky, our publisher Cathy Hemming, our agent Victoria Sanders, and our attorney Robert Youdelman who all work daily to support the literary legacy of Zora Neale Hurston. Lastly, we thank those whose efforts past and present have been a part of Zora Neale Hurston’s resurgence. Among them are: Robert Hemenway, Alice Walker, the folks at the MLA, Virginia Stanley, Jennifer Hart, Diane Burrowes and Susan Weinberg at HarperCollins Publishers, special friends of the estate Imani Wilson and Kristy Anderson, and all the teachers and librarians everywhere who introduce new readers to Zora every day.
