Margaret Kreig, a freelance writer who specializes in medical matters, began investigating the illicit prescription-drug business in 1964. She convinced the Food and Drug Administration that her intentions were serious, and thus became the first outsider to take part in FDA undercover operations and to have access to many of its records. The just-published result is Black Market Medicine, a compendium of chilling crime data and "What can be done about it?" questions to which there are no ready answers...
...phrase was directed not at individuals but at nations, and to clinch the argument, the church's chief administrative officer, Stated Clerk William P. Thompson, read to the assembly a Defense Department memorandum declaring that "commitment to the Confession would not disqualify an individual for a position requiring access to classified information." The statement was issued with the approval of Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, a Presbyterian...
...AGRICULTURE. After dropping its demand for guaranteed access to Europe's grain markets, the U.S. persuaded reluctant Europeans (and the even more reluctant Japanese) to join in a pioneering food-aid plan for hungry nations. Of 4,500,000 tons of grain a year, the U.S. will contribute 42%, the Common Market 23%, Canada 11%, Britain, Australia and Japan 5% each. Altogether, that aid comes to less than half of the grain the U.S. has been donating annually to such countries as India, Pakistan 'and Brazil. But Europe and Japan will have to buy their share for cash...
...President's committee estimates that 75% of all U.S. undergraduates are enrolled in courses in which a computer would be "very useful"-yet less than 5% of the students have "adequate" access to such machines. A recent survey by College Management magazine snowed that more than half of U.S. colleges (but only 12% of the universities) have no access to computers at all; only 16% of those that do are using the new, more practical, "third generation" computers. If the computer is really going to revolutionize education, the colleges are going to have to develop more flexible and sophisticated...
...Case of Dye. Major stumbling blocks remained over freer trade in grains and chemicals. But Roth, in a dramatic shift in the U.S. position, withdrew his demand for guaranteed access to Europe's grain markets. Reason: the best offer from the Common Market amounted to less grain than American farmers already sell to the Six. Still, the U.S. insisted that reluctant Europeans join in creating a massive food-aid program for underdeveloped countries, which would increase world demand for U.S. wheat. For its part, the Common Market demanded that the U.S. get rid of its 1922 law that bases...
