world—tucked securely under a
shield of anti-missile weapons
deployed in the heavens. What
ever effect this project may have
on the future of disarmament, it
is adding trillions a year to the
President’s massive defense
spend-up, not necessarily a build
up. It has served merely to prove
once again the validity of Par
kinson’s law to the effect that
casts always rise to the level of
money available, earned or bor
rowed.
Now the President is in trouble
over his diplomatic initiative, also
known as bartering spare parts
and other arms to Iran for the
freedom of three Americans held
hostage by moslem zealots in
Beirut.
The President professes not to
see the connection between the
freed hostages and war materials
made available to Iran for use
against Iraq. But that isn’t , the
first time he has missed a cause
and-effect relationship. If he has
grasped the connection between
red ink and cutting taxes, he has
yet to admit it. If there is a con
nection between SDI and the
armaments race, he does not see
it. And, if there was a connection
between bringing a newsman
home from Moscow and freeing a
Russian spy, or between hostages
and arms shipments, it was pure
ly accidental.
Nor is it enough for the Presi
dent to go on television and say all
this is his responsibility; the buck
stops here. That’s what he said
after the loss of some 250 U.S.
Marines when their barracks
were bombed in Lebanon. That
did not bring the marines back,
nor does it erase the errors in
judgment made during the
18-months-long courtship of Iran.
? Perhaps the President ought to"
keep’Bhfe buck in the Oval Office,
but let others handle initiatives for
a while.

Board Approves CT Scan Purchase
Chowan Hospital’s Board of
Directors announces that due to
demand since May 1986 for CT
scanning services, the hospital
will purchase its own CT scanning
unit.
“The installation of a perma
nent unit more solidly establishes
Chowan Hospital as a full-service
hospital and firmly places it in the
forefront of small community
hospitals as a sophisticated diag
nostic facility with capabilities
similar to large hospitals”, states
Johnny Bryan, Hospital Director.
The availability of the CT scan
ner on a full-time basis means
that the hospital can better serve
the emergency needs of this and
other nearby communities and
that fewer patients will need to be
transferred to other hospitals for
scans.
The CT scanner will be operated
under the supervision of Dr. Mar
vin Baker, Chief of Radiology.
Just as Dr. Baker interprets all x
ray examinations performed at
Chowan Hospital, he will read the

CT scans and furnish the inter
pretation to the patients’
physician.
Dr. Baker explains a CT scan as
a way of looking at the patient’s
head or body in cross-sectional
“slices”. Hie machine employs an
x-ray tube and detectors which
rotate around the patient. Hie “in
formation” or data so obtained is
then fed to a computer which con
verts that data into an image
which is then put on x-ray film to
be interpreted by the Radiologist.
The machine chosen by the hos
pital is a General Electric CT 9000,
one of the newest and most up-to
date CT scanners available. It is
useful in detecting cancer,
strokes, certain types of infec
tions, and in many other medical
situations.
Mr. Bryan and Dr. Baker com
mented that the community is
most fortunate to have such a pro
gressive and enthusiastic hospital
Board of Directors which is sup
portive in strengthening the
hospital’s services to the
community.
