outside Lori Morgan and Janie Duncan look like two attractive Young As Humphrey Bogart might just your average who would suspect that beneath those soft exteriors beat the hearts of Street smart private detectives and Are Winnipeg Only full fledged female private two beacons of femininity in a mans although neither has previous police or Security experience the Normal spawning grounds of Pri vate Dicks both say they slipped into the Job As easily As they slide on silk youve just got to be a different kind of said not everyone can do if the Only thing youve Ever done your whole life is gone to sunday dinner at grand Mas you dont have you need a lot of life youve got to be tossed in the Gutter and climb advantages both women were recently hired by the fledgling local firm Oliver Yaskiw and the Only other investigators on the payroll Are the firms David Yaskiw and Gord Yaskiw said he and Oliver inter viewed several male candidates be fore settling on the two they both seemed so sure they could do the they presented themselves very Yaskiw says his firm has disco Vered Many advantages to having women in Many women can get information a Man just when you Send in a there just less intimidating than a he said i worked in the insurance Busi Ness and we had female adjusters who were very Good at getting another at least in the Short is the provincial government is paying part of their salary As women employed in nontraditional Morgan and Duncan have both realized that being a woman is a plus on the surveillance women can be so Many things people Trust said Dun no Man would Ever suspect a woman was an were just so she said with a whom friends Call mor Gan As a joking reference to magnum adds that a woman is naturally adept at disguising her which makes for a Good surveillance we can change our we Morgan left and Duncan strike exaggerated poses while disguising their can color our we can Wear no we can Wear a change in clothes can be modern Day private detection is a combination of Street i Vestiga surveillance and role Duncan sometimes detectives must Tail subjects All Over following them into bars and even fitness other they perform lots of leg work by interviewing people or dredging through government in private detectives spend most of their time investigating insurance frauds such As arson and Domestic conflicts such As adultery and child that Means private much like the ones on Deal in human emotions and All the sordid details that go with our whole business has been summed up in two words Money and when it boils Down to there the two great Morgan Duncan adds that the Job differs from the television image in Case we dont have the luxury of Only working on one Case at a were always balancing five or both women agree their Brief exposure to society dark Side has changed no longer do they assume that the unusual is Mere my whole thinking about life has changed since i started this Morgan you become More Wise and you realize How easily accessible information can you become More suspicious of cynicism and caution is partly the result of hanging around with some pretty scary peo Duncan for Duncan was involved in investigating a Man on behalf of a company to recover Money he owed organized crime in the course of the Duncan discovered he subject had connections to organized we know of people that have just when youre dealing with people like you know theres always that its dangerous Morgan said her closest Call involved an arson Case where she was hired to investigate the owner of the torched during the she delved deeply into the mans learning eventually that he was when the Man found out he was being investigated so he confronted he was like a caged pacing Back and Yelling and i thought he was going to hit it was especially since it was established later that he had a criminal record with previous As Sault also dangerous is that they occasionally establish ongoing personal Contact with sometimes actually dating them to get info caution you try to accomplish As much in one night As you can because you dont want to set up a second Morgan in such caution is the by Morgan you never let a Man pick you you meet him at the 1 use two different names my Home life has one name and my working life has another theres All these buffers in Between so that people wont be Able to find me at As both women were leery of using their real names in an and insisted they be disguised when posing for a free press compared with other jobs she has the pay Cheque is not Morgan but neither would divulge her actual both women say they Are looking Forward to Long careers As private but dont know How Long they can operate in a City the size of one thing youve got to know is this is a Small Duncan that one

los Angeles As millions of americans Cope with the pain and danger of clogged physic ians Are striving to develop improved nonsurgical techniques for cleaning out the arteries safely and in experiments at hospitals All Over the patients Are hav ing their arteries reamed out with hot lasers that boil away the or blasted out with cold others Are having their arteries cleaned with mechanical devices that shave or gouge away the clog Ging called some patients Are having mesh like wires implanted into their freshly cleaned arteries to prevent new obstructions from doctors say that Many lured by the notion that lasers per form miracles and by Hospital and Are specifically request ing such procedures instead of today conventional nonsurgical treatment known As balloon Angio this worries some unsubstantiated while some new methods May prove helpful in saving some proponents Are making unsubstantiated claims about their experimental systems and especially about said George a cardiologist at the University of Florida school of Medicine in Gainesville who is a Pioneer in the if these claims science reaming arteries a Host of methods on trial Are not borne both the Public and the scientific Community will be put off the until a decade the Only treat ment for blocked arteries was by pass in the late 1970s a nonsurgical balloon was introduced in which an Ultra thin guide wire is inserted into a major leg artery and threaded through the circulatory system to an obstruct minor incision Only a minor incision is doctors track the wire on a special screen with an image similar to an when the tip of the Catheter reaches the the balloon is pressing plaque against the arterial Walls and opening a Channel through which blood can flow More the major drawback is that 30 per cent of ail coronary arteries and 40 to 50 per cent of leg arteries develop new obstructions within six months of the balloon doctors another drawback is that totally Block Toj arteries and
