LAWSON Administrative Coordinator Specially-Funded Programs r NIGHT EMERGENCY CHAPTER 1 Rexford Hamilton sat on the porch swing and pushed himself back and forth slowly with his long legs. He listened to the squeak of the chain that held the swing. He had been listening to that chain foras long as he could remember. He drank more beer from the cold can in his hand. The street was quiet tonight. Itwas fall, and it was the first Monday since school started. Everybodywas inside, watching TV or doing homework. Rex was glad that stuI was all over for him. No more school for old Rex. He had better things to do. Behind his head the window of his mother's living room showed a warm light through the drawn-down 1 window shade. He couldhear the TV going.He knew his younger brothersand sisters were doinghomework. Only Chuck wasexcused. He was gettingready to go to work. Work! Rexford smiled.He tilted the beer canagain and drank half of thebeer at once. Whatcould that kid do? Nobody had toldRex what kind of ajob Chuck had found. And Rex wastoo proud to ask anyquestions. Just then, the dooropened and Chuck cameout. He was dressedin a white uniform,shirt and pants, all new and starched. Rex sat up. "Well,look at that. You'regoing to work in a laundry! Nowain't that nice." Chuck stopped andlooked at his olderbrother. Rex had been Chuck's worst enemyall the way. Chuck was used to nasty cracksand endless teasing. "Not a laundry.The new hospital.I'm going to be an orderly." "Oh, an orderly."Rex smiled. "Well, now,that's much better than sortingsomebody's dirty laundry,ain't it? You'll get to emptybedpans and clean up messesif you're an orderly. That's amuch better job. Andyou'll get rich, too.Someday you might evenget promoted to head orderly, if you're agood boy." Rex liftedhis beer can in a toastto Chuck."Congratulations! I'mproud of you, little brother." Chuck watched him emptythe can and thenthrow it out into the street."I have to go. See youlater." "Oh, by all means. Don'tlet me keep you." Rex watched Chuckwalk briskly downthe street. He was such a square.Always had been. Rex got up andstretched. He was sotall he could 2 touch the ceiling of the porch with his fingers. He straightened his tight-fitting pants and pulled down his newest ten-dollar shirt. It was time to godowntown. He met his friends in the pool hall as usual.They played a couple of games, and then they went tothe Hangout for a few beers. A guy called Dugan came up to the table anddragged a chair over so he could sitdown with Rex and his friend, Mugsy. "Hey, Rex, the Top is in town," Dugan said. "Who's the Top?" said Mugsy. Dugan glared at Mugsy. "Who's this creep,Rex? I'm not talkin' with any squares around." Rex smiled. "This is Mugsy, Dugan. He's a new man, but he's not a creep. I just haven't toldhim about Mr. Top, that's all. He's okay. Go ahead.Talk." Dugan looked at Mugsy's tough, scarredface for a minute and then went on. "Mr. Top isin town. He's lookin' for some stuff. Things have beenkinda tight, and the junkies are ready to pay anything.If you've got any ideas, now is the time to sell 'em." Rex looked at Mugsy. He could seethat Mugsy wouldn't need an explanation. Mugsycaught on fast. "I haven't had any good leads for awhile," Rex said. "The new laws are making it harder andharder to get stuff. Some of the junkies have eventried to raid hos- pital drug rooms," Mugsy said. Rex sat up straight. He had a great idea! "Hey, I think I have a lead. My brotherjust got a job as an orderly in the newhospital." "Is he cool? I thought you said he was asquare." 3 i th 111011VA '1! 1w!r11 t %top001dltcPItioolpIyAl 0110;1hoor '$c441i140Iugmi41011,1TI$4 ori to 40010AMtot_ Ntri '11?traqieliqa-ql;firrit"WH°i011140111El A, They agreed to meet in themorning to walk home to- gether. It was funny going towork at eleven o'clock at night. Rex belonged to the teamunder Dr. Cramer. The nurse was MissHunt, and the intern would bewhoever was on duty. Rexfound that wearing the whiteuniform helped him fit into the team.He looked like one of them. Miss Hunt started him putting somebandages and supplies into the proper place. Hehad just about finished when he heard a siren screaming.It was funny to know it wasn't the cops. For once,Rex didn't have to worry about that. When the ambulance pulled up tothe door, Rex saw the emergency team go intoaction. The two men from the ambulance wheeled thestretcher into the first emer- gency room. Theylifted the old man onto thetable. He was big and heavyfor an old man. "He fell through the railing ofhis porch," one of the ambulance men said. "He fell abouteight feet. Can't move from thewaist down." "Does he have a family?" "Not as far as we could find out.He doesn't speak English." "Okay," said Dr. Cramer."Leave your papers with the Admission Office." "Sure." Rex finished what he was doingand stood quietly near the door of the X-ray room. Heknew they were too busy to give him morework, so he just watched.This was better than TV. Rex had afeeling of excitement, but he didn't know why. Rex watched as the doctortried to talk to the oic) man. 6 It was hard. "We'll have to use dye. Got to find out where hisback is broken, if it's broken. Get the X-ray technicianand the intern," Dr. Cramer said. "Yes, Doctor." Miss Hunt went to call them. The intern came right away. They took him intothe X-ray room. "Let's turn him over on his stomach." Rex could see that they would need help. Hestepped forward just a little. He wasn't sure that theywould let him touch a patient. "Rex, come over on this side." Miss Hunt spokewith- out looking at Rex. He took his place beside her. She showed himhow to help turn the old man as quickly aspossible without hurting him any more than they could help. "He doesn't seem to feel much pain," theintern said. Rex looked at the old man's face. It was traylooking. But his eyes were open. No one paid any more attention to Rex, sohe went back near the X-ray room door. Whenthe girl who would take the X-rays came, the doctor told herwbat to do. The nurse brought some stuff in abig tube with a long needle in it. Rex felt weak in theknees. He didn't like needles very much. The X-ray technician smiled at him, so hemoved over closer to her. "What are they going to do?" "They're going to put that dye into his spinalcolumn and then tip his body, head down. The dyewill run down until it comes to the place where the pressure mustbe. 7 Then we'll know where the trouble it." "Will it hurt?" "The needle will be just a sharp prick, that's all." "Lights out," said Dr. Cramer. The X-ray technician turned out the lights. Rex blinked. When he could see again, he saw the doctor and the nurse and the intern standing around the old man. A motor started. The table began to movc and thed man's head began to go down.

  • By Virginia Woolf
    THE WAVES by Virginia Woolf The sun had not yet risen. The sea was indistinguishable from the sky, except that the sea was slightly creased as if a cloth had wrinkles in it. Gradually as the sky whitened a dark line lay on the horizon dividing the sea from the sky and the grey cloth became barred with thick strokes moving, one after another, beneath the surface, following each other, pursuing each other, perpetually. As they neared the shore each bar rose, heaped itself, broke and swept a thin veil of white water across the sand. The wave paused, and then drew out again, sighing like a sleeper whose breath comes and goes unconsciously. Gradually the dark bar on the horizon became clear as if the sediment in an old wine-bottle had sunk and left the glass green. Behind it, too, the sky cleared as if the white sediment there had sunk, or as if the arm of a woman couched beneath the horizon had raised a lamp and flat bars of white, green and yellow spread across the sky like the blades of a fan. Then she raised her lamp higher and the air seemed to become fibrous and to tear away from the green surface flickering and flaming in red and yellow fibres like the smoky fire that roars from a bonfire. Gradually the fibres of the burning bonfire were fused into one haze, one incandescence which lifted the weight of the woollen grey sky on top of it and turned it to a million atoms of soft blue.

  • Produced by David Widger ROUGHING IT by Mark Twain 1880
    Produced by David Widger ROUGHING IT by Mark Twain 1880 Part 4. CHAPTER XXXI. There were two men in the company who caused me particular discomfort. One was a little Swede, about twenty-five years old, who knew only one song, and he was forever singing it. By day we were all crowded into one small, stifling bar-room, and so there was no escaping this person's music. Through all the profanity, whisky-guzzling, "old sledge" and quarreling, his monotonous song meandered with never a variation in its tiresome sameness, and it seemed to me, at last, that I would be content to die, in order to be rid of the torture. The other man was a stalwart ruffian called "Arkansas," who carried two revolvers in his belt and a bowie knife projecting from his boot, and who was always drunk and always page 1 / 66 suffering for a fight. But he was so feared, that nobody would accommodate him. He would try all manner of little wary ruses to entrap somebody into an offensive remark, and his face would light up now and then when he fancied he was fairly on the scent of a fight, but invariably his victim would elude his toils and then he would show a disappointment that was almost pathetic. The landlord, Johnson, was a meek, well-meaning fellow, and Arkansas fastened on him early, as a promising subject, and gave him no rest day or night, for awhile. On the fourth morning, Arkansas got drunk and sat himself down to wait for an opportunity.

  • Interview with Fergal Keane
    Volume 87 Number 860 December 2005 COMMUNICATION Interview with * Fergal Keane Fergal Keane is a Special Correspondent for BBC News. He has reported from many of the world’s major trouble spots, from Northern Ireland to Rwanda and Iraq, attracted widespread critical acclaim and won a string of awards for his reports. Among many other prizes, he was named Journalist of the Year at the Royal Television Society Awards (1995). He also took the Amnesty International Television Award for his 1994 Panorama report “Journey into Darkness” — an account of the genocide in Rwanda and the Index on Censorship prize for journalistic integrity. He won the George Orwell prize for his book on the Rwandan genocide “Season Of Blood.” : : : : : : : Th e ICRC has its principles, such as impartiality and neutrality. Does journalism need similar principles? If you look at journalism through the ages, there have always been categories of journalism. So don’t assume that there is only one kind of journalism. There are people who write commentaries in newspapers about international affairs, there are journalists who work for wire agencies who are meant to be simply purvey- ors of facts, and then there are people like me who go to places like Rwanda or South Africa and whose job it is to do more than purvey facts. People are going to be asking me for my analysis of the facts. At what point does that sometimes stray into opinion? As of course it does — you are asked to give an opinion on what you think is going to happen. In the sense of being strictly impartial, I don’t believe such a thing exists in journalism.
