...would not be the first performed on a prisoner; at least 40 inmates in the South have sought a new outlook on life from Joy, head of the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery at the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta. Joy's mentor, Surgeon Elmer Bear of the Medical College of Virginia, began reshaping prisoners' mugs 20 years ago, and has done about 25 such operations all told...

...market to breach 1,000, many investment analysts last week were cautioning that further rises could prove even more elusive. In January of 1973, the Dow rose to an alltime high of 1,051, shortly thereafter to tumble 500 points into Wall Street's worst bear market since the 1930s.
