Combined tangible damages by the floods amounted to $1.49 billion. Right now the human rehabilitation that is still going on is underscored by a different sort of flood the rising tide of debate over flood control. It is a battle between those who say big dams and reservoirs upstream are the answer and those upstream who want such projects abandoned.

By the time a stomach cancer is diagnosed on the basis of symptoms, it probably has been present for two years. This long silent interval and frequent occurrence of stomach cancer definitely suggests that the most effective way of early detection is by periodic X-ray examination.
