s-711 Those included Drew Cass, Devin Thurlow, people like that.

s-723 August 19, 1975
s-724 Dear Hannah:
s-725 We are back from Europe, having been to London then to Mallorca and back to London.
s-726 It was hot, as you yourself will know from your stay in Switzerland and the newspapers -- London was sweltering and the parks are not green, probably for the first time in two hundred years.
s-727 Martha greatly enjoyed our stay in Mallorca at the villa of our friend Vane Ivanovic.
s-728 Luncheons and dinners were crowded with guests, but in the evenings she played bridge constantly and gossiped with our hostess.
s-729 Vane himself presented me with five hundred pages of his memoirs when I arrived and, between sleeping and talking, I cut and edited the work: I am on holiday the inveterate and proverbial busman.
s-730 I wrote only about 2000 words on my novel, but I've finished now five chapters.
s-731 It is romantic, and sad, which is to say, interesting experience recollected.
s-732 At Vane's villa I met the Prince of Spain, Alphonso, who is the son of King Alphonso's deaf and mute son (the second one).
s-733 The Prince is married to Franco's granddaughter, a marvelously beautiful and seriously educated girl of twenty-six who is quite wasted on this royalist.

s-737 Isn't it marvelous how wars, even when they are not fought, are found to betray everyone?
s-738 It is a quiet summer in New York, especially as there isn't such news except that of the city's financial troubles.
s-739 Odd, though, that there is none of the hectic spending and living here that seems to obtain amongst moneyed people and even the middle classes in London, where I was amazed to discover that the shops are full and places of entertainment are crowed.
s-740 I don't know what to make of it -- the idea that it shows the last days of Rome doesn't quite strike me as right.
s-741 The pound will surely fallto $ 2.00 -- I've already started to discount our assets in London, although the operating revenues and profits there on our scientific books and journals are holding up quite apart from inflation in prices.
s-742 What's happening in New York willhappen in some other cities around the world, I am convinced: Milan or Rome, Paris, Jakarta, and so forth.
s-743 We miss you, Hannah, but we know that you must be getting some real rest.
s-744 Will you go to Israel at the end of your stay?
s-745 What are the dates of Aberdeen?
s-746 Is there anything you need?
s-747 I've seen the doctor twice since I've been back, and he's convinced that I just missed an 'episode,' which means that I suffered what is always called, rather badly I think, a 'coronary insufficiency.'

s-763 Parents prosecuted after homeopathic treatment leads to daughter's death
s-764 Friday, May 8, 2009
s-765 Thomas Sam, 42, and his wife Manju Sam, 36, from Sydney, Australia, are undergoing trial for manslaughter by gross negligence for the death of their nine-month-old child, Gloria.
s-766 She died from infection caused by severe eczema after they shunned effective conventional medical treatments for homeopathy, a form of alternative medicine that has been described as pseudoscience.
s-767 Articles in peer-reviewed academic journals including Social Science & Medicine have characterized homeopathy as a form of quackery.
s-768 An example of severe eczema.
s-769 Image: Jambula.
s-770 Gloria developed severe eczema at the age of four months and the parents were advised to send the child to a skin specialist.
s-771 Thomas Sam, a practising homeopath, instead decided to treat his daughter himself.
s-772 His daughter's condition deteriorated, to the point that the baby spent all her energy battling the infections caused by the constant breaking of the skin, leading to severe malnutrition and, eventually, her death.
s-773 By the end, Gloria's eczema was so severe that her skin broke every time her parents changed her clothes or nappy, and in the words of the Crown prosecutor, Mark Tedeschi, QC, 'Gloria spent a lot of the last five months of her life crying, irritable, scratching and the only thing that gave her solace was to suck on her mother's breast.'
s-774 Gloria also became unable to move her legs.
s-775 Mr. Tedeschi also told the court that, over the last five months of her life, 'Gloria's eczema played a devastating role in her overall health and it is asserted by the Crown that both her parents knew this and discussed it with each other.'
s-776 However, despite their child's severe illness, and her lack of improvement, the Sams continued to shun conventional medical treatment, instead seeking help from other homeopaths and naturopaths.
s-777 Gloria temporarily improved during the rare times they used conventional treatments, but they soon dropped them in favour of homeopathy, and she consistently worsened.
s-778 Allegedly, Thomas' sister pleaded with him to send Gloria to a conventional medical doctor, but he replied 'I am not able to do that'.
s-779 The parents are also accused of putting their social life ahead of their child, taking her on a trip to India and leaving her to servants while embarking on a busy social schedule, and giving her homeopathic drops instead of using the prescription creams they had been given.
s-780 Gloria was finally taken to the emergency department shortly before her death.
s-781 By this time, 'her skin was weeping, her body malnourished and her corneas melting', according to the Sydney Morning Herald.
s-782 Speaking in the parents' defense, Tom Molomby, SC, said that, as the parents came from India, where homeopathy is in common use, they should be declared not guilty due to cultural differences.
s-783 Homeopathy is a form of alternative medicine which treats patients with massively diluted forms of substances that, if given to a healthy person undiluted, would cause symptoms similar to the disease.
s-784 Typical treatments take the dilutions, with ritualised shaking between each step of the dilution, past the level where any molecules of the original substance are likely to remain; for homeopathic treatments to work, basic well-understood concepts in chemistry and physics would have to be wrong.
s-785 There is no evidence that homeopathy is more effective than placebo for any condition.
s-786 Australian children suffering from iodine deficiency
s-787 Thursday, February 23, 2006
s-788 Almost half of all Australian primary school children are mild to moderately iodine deficient, researchers say.
s-789 A new study documenting iodine nutritional status in Australian school children has revealed many are not getting enough iodine - which can lead to mental and growth retardation.
s-790 The report's authors say iodine deficiency is 'the sleeper health issue in Australia', and potentially a very serious one.
s-791 The results of the Australian National Iodine Nutrition Study published in the Medical Journal of Australia this week, revealed that children in mainland Australia are borderline iodine deficient.
s-792 The report has prompted calls for all edible salt to be iodised.
s-793 They say adding the mineral to salt is the simplest and most effective method of preventing iodine deficiency disorders.
s-794 A cross-sectional survey of 1709 schoolchildren - aged 810 years, from 88 schools - was carried out in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia and Queensland, between July 2003 and December 2004.
s-795 Tasmania was excluded from the study - where an voluntary iodine fortification program using iodised salt in bread, is ongoing.
s-796 The authors say the results confirm the existence of inadequate iodine intake in the Australian population.
s-797 They call for 'urgent implementation of mandatory iodisation of all edible salt in Australia.'
s-798 Most iodine in food comes from seafood, milk and iodised salt.
s-799 Professor Cres Eastman, Director of the National Iodine Nutrition study, and Chairman of the Australian Centre for Control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders, says it is crucial that children and pregnant women in particular have an adequate intake of iodine.
s-800 Iodine deficiency can lead to serious health problems including brain damage, stunted growth and deafness.
s-801 Professor Eastman says manufacturers could easily remedy the situation by using iodised salt in their products in line with the United States and most European countries.
s-802 'I suspect they won't do that on a voluntary basis, we've tried so far and haven't succeeded, so we've convinced the Food Standards of Australia and New Zealand | that all salt should be iodised,' he said.
s-803 The report says the decline in iodine intake appears to be due to changes in the dairy industry, where chlorine-containing sanitisers have replaced iodine-containing sanitisers.
