"In any realm of life—whether academic, social, business, or political—the
only way to succeed is to take a practical, rather than an idealistic, point

The following appeared in an editorial in the Mason City newspaper. "At
present, Mason City residents seldom use the nearby Mason River for any kind
of recreational activity, even though surveys of the region's residents
consistently rank water sports (swimming, fishing, and boating) as a favorite
form of recreation. Since there have been complaints about the quality of the
water in the river, residents must be avoiding the river because they think
that it is not clean enough. But that situation is about to change: the
agency responsible for rivers in our region has announced plans to clean up
Mason River. Therefore, recreational use of the river is likely to increase,
so the Mason City council will need to increase its budget for improvements
to the publicly owned lands along the Mason River."

221. The following appeared in a report of the Committee on Faculty Promotions
and Salaries at Elm City University. "During her 17 years as a professor
of botany, Professor Thomas has proved herself to be well worth her
annual salary of $50,000. Her classes are among the largest at the
university, demonstrating her popularity among students. Moreover, the
money she has brought to the university in research grants has exceeded
her salary in each of the last two years. Therefore, in consideration of
Professor Thomas' demonstrated teaching and research abilities, we
recommend that she receive a $10,000 raise and a promotion to Department
Chairperson; without such a raise and promotion, we fear that Professor
Thomas will leave Elm City University for another college."

The following appeared in a local newspaper. "People should not be misled
by the advertising competition between Coldex and Cold-Away, both popular
over-the-counter cold medications that anyone can purchase without a doctor's
prescription. Each brand is accusing the other of causing some well-known,
unwanted side effect: Coldex is known to contribute to existing high blood
pressure and Cold-Away is known to cause drowsiness. But the choice should be
clear for most health-conscious people: Cold-Away has been on the market for
much longer and is used by more hospitals than is Coldex. Clearly, Cold-Away
is more effective."

Thirteen years ago, researchers studied a group of 25 infants who showed
signs of mild distress when exposed to unfamiliar stimuli such as an unusual
odor or a tape recording of an unknown voice. They discovered that these
infants were more likely than other infants to have been conceived in early
autumn, a time when their mothers' production of melatonin — a hormone known
to affect some brain functions — would naturally increase in response to
decreased daylight. In a follow-up study conducted earlier this year, more
than half of these children — now teenagers — who had shown signs of
distress identified themselves as shy. Clearly, increased levels of melatonin
before birth cause shyness during infancy and this shyness continues into
later life.

6 A folk remedy* for insomnia, the scent in lavender flowers, has now been
proved effective. In a recent study, 30 volunteers with chronic insomnia
slept each night for three weeks on lavender-scented pillows in a controlled
room where their sleep was monitored. During the first week, volunteers
continued to take their usual sleeping medication. They slept soundly but
wakened feeling tired. During the second week, the volunteers discontinued
their medication. As a result, they slept less soundly than the previous week
and felt even more tired. During the third week, the volunteers slept longer
and more soundly than in the previous two weeks. This shows that over a short
period of time lavender cures insomnia. *A folk remedy is usually a
plant-based form of treatment common to traditional forms of medicine, ones
that developed before the advent of modern medical services and technology.

The following appeared in a medical newsletter. "Doctors have long suspected
that secondary infections may keep some patients from healing quickly after
severe muscle strain. This hypothesis has now been proved by preliminary
results of a study of two groups of patients. The first group of patients,
all being treated for muscle injuries by Dr. Newland, a doctor who
specializes in sports medicine, took antibiotics regularly throughout their
treatment. Their recuperation time was, on average, 40 percent quicker than
typically expected. Patients in the second group, all being treated by Dr.
Alton, a general physician, were given sugar pills, although the patients
believed they were taking antibiotics. Their average recuperation time was
not significantly reduced. Therefore, all patients who are diagnosed with
muscle strain would be well advised to take antibiotics as part of their treatment.

The following is a letter from an editor at Liber Publishing Company
to the company's president. "In recent years, Liber has unfortunately
moved away from its original mission: to publish the works of regional
small-town authors instead of those of big-city authors. Just last year,
90 percent of the novels we published were written by authors who maintain
a residence in a big city. Although this change must have been intended
to increase profits, it has obviously backfired, because Liber is now in
serious financial trouble. The only way to address this problem is to
return to our original mission. If we return to publishing only the
works of regional small-town authors, our financial troubles will
soon be resolved."

The following recommendation was made by the Human Resources Manager to the
board of directors of the Fancy Toy Company. "In the last three quarters of
this year, under the leadership of our president, Pat Salvo, our profits have
fallen considerably. Thus, we should ask for her resignation in return for a
generous severance package. In Pat's place, we should appoint Rosa Winnings.
Rosa is currently president of Starlight Jewelry, a company whose profits
have increased dramatically over the past several years. Although we will
have to pay Rosa twice the salary that Pat has been receiving, it will be
well worth it because we can soon expect our profits to increase
considerably."

238 The following is a letter to the editor of a local newspaper. "As
a local merchant, I wish to support the development of a ski resort in the
state park north of our township. Along with many other merchants who favor
the proposal by Ski the Slopes, Incorporated, I would, of course, experience
a growth in my business. But I also know how much more prosperous, not to
mention lively and interesting, our community would be if tourism increased.
Since the main opposition comes from a few environmentalists* who do not even
live in this community, I see no reason to give in to their views. The First
National Bank has finally researched the project and agreed to fund it. As
a result, I see no reason to delay development of the resort."
* Environmentalists are people who advocate the preservation of the natural
environment.

The following appeared in a letter to the editor of a Batavia newspaper.
“The department of agriculture in Batavia reports that the number of dairy
farms throughout the country is now 25 percent greater than it was 10 years
ago. During this same time period, however, the price of milk at the local
Excello Food Market has increased from $1.50 to over $3.00 per gallon. To
prevent farmers from continuing to receive excessive profits on an apparently
increased supply of milk, the Batavia government should begin to regulate
retail milk prices. Such regulation is necessary to ensure both lower prices
and an adequate supply of milk for consumers.”

The following appeared in a newsletter on nutrition and health. "Although the
multimineral Zorba pill was designed as a simple dietary supplement, a study
of first-time ulcer patients who took Zorba suggests that Zorba actually
helps prevent ulcers. The study showed that only 25 percent of those ulcer
patients who took Zorba under a doctor's direction developed new ulcers,
compared to a 75 percent recurrence rate among ulcer patients who did not
take Zorba. Clearly, then, Zorba will be highly effective in preventing
recurrent ulcers and if health experts inform the general public of this
fact, many first-time ulcers can be prevented as well."

The following appeared in a memo from the mayor of the town of West Egg. "Two
years ago, our consultants predicted that West Egg's landfill, which is used
for garbage disposal, would be completely filled within five years. During
the past two years, however, town residents have been recycling twice as much
aluminum and paper as they did in previous years. Next month the amount of
material recycled should further increase, since charges for garbage pickup
will double. Furthermore, over ninety percent of the respondents to a recent
survey said that they would do more recycling in the future. Because of our
residents' strong commitment to recycling, the available space in our
landfill should last for considerably longer than predicted."
