...Since Bristol-Myers had only a small sales staff, it sold much of its tetracycline in bulk to E. R. Squibb & Sons and the Upjohn Co., both of which were named in the indictment as co-conspirators but not as defendants...
Artificial flowers for allergic actresses are only one use of the U.S.'s flowering bogus-blossom bloom. Imports from Italy and Hong Kong, which manufacture the bulk of the world's fake-flower output, have jumped more than 20 times since 1955. It is now a $50 million-a-year business. Of poor quality in the past, imitation lilacs, rhododendrons, geraniums, magnolias and orchids now look real enough to water-though lilies sometimes come with geranium leaves. Explains one Hong Kong exporter: "Sometimes God's product doesn't look natural enough, so we make hybrids." Some...
...Buyers have to wait at least a year for delivery of refrigerators, up to two years for washing machines. Even the outrageously priced Wartburg car (selling in East Germany for $3,750, in West Germany for $1,250) has a waiting list six-months-to-a-year long.

Four Tunisians held up an entire French company for four hours, killing five paratroopers and wounding 15, and battled on even after two medium tanks had blown to smithereens the houses in which they were...
...every nine books published in the U.S. is a children's book. The bulk of this output does not occupy the classic realm of the imagination but a huge waste-of-time land. There are usually stories about neurasthenic little animals that want to secede from the animal kingdom. There are tales about plug-ugly ducklings (human) who can't seem to acquire a friend until the sentimental fadeout page. For pre-teentimers there are soap operettas about girls "who never quite know how to talk to boys." The boys are usually busy talking to a pet moose...
