...doubt that some ruling was necessary. Ever since vc was invented in 1937 by the B.F. Goodrich Co., it has been linked to disease. First it was shown to be dangerous to laboratory rats and mice. Later it was implicated in a variety of human ills: hepatitis, a crippling bone disease, and cancer. This year B.F. Goodrich reported that three workers had developed angiosarcoma of the liver, an extremely rare and invariably fatal form of cancer (TIME, May 13). Since 1961, 16 deaths of angiosarcoma among vc workers have been uncovered in the U.S., and another ten in Europe -conclusive...

Joan is known to have been suffering from stress since her son Teddy's leg amputation for bone cancer last November. According to friends who saw her at a recent Kennedy family-sponsored tennis benefit in New York she was "a nervous wreck" despite a restful summer of sailing and sunning at Hyannis Port...
...people of other faiths, the Mormon temple is an impenetrable place of mystery. Whether it is the Gothic-spired colossus in Salt Lake City, the bone white cruciform on Hawaii's Oahu island or any of the other temples that serve the 3.3 million-member Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the curious outsider invariably meets a closed door. Only Mormons in good standing can participate in the holy "ordinances" that are performed in the temple precincts, or even visit the rooms where they are performed...
