...inventive composer of movie scores in the business. Since quitting the Gillespie quintet in 1963 to try his luck with films, he has scored 21 features (Cool Hand Luke, Bullitt), three TV serials (including Mission: Impossible, with its pulsating, wide-open jazz theme) and half a dozen TV specials. Almost all the scores are good, and almost all are different in style and sound...
...bruises of such champions as Gene Tunney, James J. Braddock and Ingemar Johansson; in New York City. There were few who could match Whitey's wizardry with swabs, antiseptics and astringent lotions in the 60 seconds between rounds, as in 1947 when he saved Rocky Graziano from almost certain defeat at the hands of Tony Zale by patching a third-round eye cut that threatened to end the fight...
This month FDA released the panels' findings. The most striking conclusion was that about 7% of the products studied, or almost 300 drugs, are not effective for any of the uses suggested by the manufacturers in their advertising. Others are effective only for certain suggested uses.

Hundreds of others will have to be relabeled, with fewer, less provocative and appealing claims...
...Roerig division of Chas. Pfizer & Co. Inc.). Upjohn has already taken its case to the courts, and the other firms may do so as well. Both drugs are widely prescribed items, ringing up tens of millions in annual sales. Panalba and related formulations earned $23 million last year, almost one-sixth of Upjohn's total sales. With that much money at stake, the FDA will have to battle for what it believes to be patients' interests. Ley, who succeeded James L. ("Go-Go") Goddard as commissioner a year ago, has made it clear that he will not shrink...
Accelerating demand for the repairman's services has turned him into a big businessman; estimates of his yearly volume range up to $12 billion. His business is also the leader in consumer complaints, which are climbing almost as rapidly as the wages of carpenters, plumbers, glaziers and electricians. Typically, the Chicago Better Business Bureau last year counted 2,178 protests against the performance of home remodelers, substantially more than the number of gripes registered against the runner-up, the auto-repair business. Home repair is characterized by maddening delays, shoddy workmanship and startling expense...
