Gallstones aie composed of many chcmicals inc luding cholesterol, bile salts and pigments, and calcium salts. Stones Develop Rile originates in the liver, and stones develop when the hepatic cells manufacture bile that is overly satured with cholesterol. When the digestants go to the gallbladder, the cholesterol crystallizes and the solid particles clump together to form a stony nucleus. 1 councils refer-enduin- er-al- l, d pio-grai- Gun Control May Help Curb Wallace-Typ- e Redevelopment In the past it has had some of the best urban renewal in the Imted States, and the business community is now beginning a tremendous redevelopment plan downtown, but the underlying urban problems are beyond the resources of the city, or of any of the individual cities and suburbs surrounding it. battling is acute here. It was these subuibs which fought HUD Secy Geoige Romney to an impasse on federal the issue of whether housing could be built in some suburbs, and it ls the same population that is fighting America's most bitter busing battle Yet it is obvious that the suburban cities (some still maintain the fiction that they are villagers) are developing the same problems as the city: declining services, rising taxes' stagnant housing plans, uncontrolled development, and rising crime rates.

Or has violenoe been so glorified, as the Philadelphia Inquuer suggests, that it has become Mr. Knight almost institutionalized as a way of life? Historically, and as related by Larry Fuiley cf the Chicago Daily News, two facts emerge with respect to political assassins. They usually are little men, says Finley, obscure men of only minor consequence to the world who erase a bit of hislory with a bullet and force themselves mto the void Also that the deaths of John F. Kpnne-d- , Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Medgar Evers and Maholm X, like the attempted assassination of Geoige W allace, serve to rein.nd the nation that the same powerful personalities who can draw out deep love and devotion can also fan hatred of equal fervor " Has Loners Reputation Bremer, being held for the Gov.

His room was littered with the writings of a lunatic. Yet he still had access to revolver. And he used it. Need more be said?

KNIGHT Editorial Chairman Knight Newspapers a Chenodeoxychohc acid is capable of preventing the early formation of a stone, and research is being conducted to determine whether this or a related chemical will dissolve existing stones. It took a long time, but there is an instance in which a gallstone was dissolved via the use of a chemical. More Frequent In Women Woman develop gallbladder trouble with stones much more frequently than do men. studies on the Pima Indians have shown that 1 percent of the girls have stones by age 18. By the age of 31. 75 percent harbor these rocks. Among males, the incidence increases only gradually between the ages of 15 and 65. y The condition also is more prevalent among the obese and more sedentary (the same can be said of arteriosclerosis). In tins century. ?! attempts have been made on the lives of presidents, governors congressmen and mayors These statist'cs would suggest to some that we have always lived in a violent society. Yet the 195S Louis Hams poll on assassination indicated that 95 percent of the people shared deep sorrow over the death of John F Kennedy. Many wore fearful, even more were angry-- The same Hums poll Liken after President Kenne-dv'- s assassination showed that 62 percent of the population believed Lee Harvev Oswald did not act alone but was the tool of a larger conspiracy. Other facts ottered by reporter Finley reveal that most of the assassins had not enjoyed a normal family life, experienced difficulty making fi lends, indicated various forms of instability, and m the year prior to each assassination were unable to hold a regular job In short thou- - crimes were motivated an urge to change history by getting a share of u bv Fair tn indict Socfcty?
