...restrictions came as a result of an Abbott-sponsored study in which a few rats fed vast amounts of a cyclamate-saccharin mixture, plus added cyclohexylamine (a breakdown product of cyclamate), showed some bladder tumors.

But in the great rooms of the liner, it was like a mod version of Wellington's ball on the eve of Waterloo. Singers Judy Abbott and Glenn Weston chanted as indefatigably as blackbirds on a spring morn. Bands and discotheques rocked away with Elizabethan abandon. And many young couples were seen to be popping below quite early, leading one ancient mariner to muse that the cruise might be fruitful beyond Cunard's calculations. The great drift...
