...burping exercises, Gwyneth Jones takes hot and cold showers and yawns a lot. The rage for eating raw garlic is so popular among German tenors (a cashew-sized sliver two hours before performing is supposed to strengthen the heart) that one indignant Italian soprano recently went onstage with an aerosol can of deodorant. Tenor Franco Corelli thoughtfully combines his raw-meat and garlic diet with nibbles on a bouquet of parsley between scenes...
According to the charge, Wolfson, his associates and his family controlled both Continental and the patent to an aerosol-dispensing device called Propel-Pak. They swapped the licensing rights on the patent to Continental in return for 35% to 40% of royalties from sub-licensing contracts. Then, says U.S. District Attorney Robert M.

Now, sniff this page. Catch that...
From drugs to golf carts, house paint to brassieres, the space age is beginning to produce some down-to-earth byproducts for U.S. business. Just as the necessities of World War II led to such lasting innovations as the jet plane and the aerosol spray, the $5 billion-a-year exploration of space has started a beneficent fallout of commercial products and processes that promises profound effects on the economy and on U.S. life...
