...school for retarded children. "These children can be trained to work and should be employed," she said, and went on to note that "such a person was employed for reupholstering work at the White House during my son's Administration." Meanwhile, in New York, plans were announced to break ground this week for the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Center for Research in Mental Retardation, supported in part by a $1,450,000 Kennedy family donation...
...great drawback in the use of L-asparaginase is its scarcity. If all Texas were turned into a giant guinea-pig farm, the yield would suffice for only a few patients. The break came in 1963, when researchers at the University of Delaware described an immensely complicated process for extracting the enzyme from colon bacilli, Escherichia coli. These bacteria were already being grown in vats to provide other substances used by biochemists, and New Jersey's Worthington Biochemical Corp, set about extracting L-asparaginase from them. It takes pounds of the microscopic bacteria, and would cost close...

The minimum purse for a standard allowance or claiming race at Aqueduct ($3,500) has not been raised in 20 years simply because the tracks cannot afford to; by law they are nonprofit operations, and all they do is break even.

What rights does he have to his "father's" estate...
...conclusion of insiders was that the rerun issue was just the excuse that Carson needed in order to break and possibly sweeten the three-year NBC contract that he had signed last April. This winter, he took on Show Business Attorney Arnold Grant, and last month they asked NBC about reopening negotiations. The present contract provides Carson with more than $700,000 for a 39-week year, but that is far less than the $40,000 a week that he can earn playing nightclubs...
