Responsible for the method is Dr. Harold T. Meryman of the Naval Medical Research Institute at Bethesda, Md., who stumbled onto the new-type taxidermy after a peanut butter-baited mousetrap at his home snared an unsuspecting cardinal. "I felt so bad about it," says Meryman, "that I decided I ought to give the bird a place in posterity." No taxidermist. Biophysicist Meryman, 39, tried an experiment. Posing the cardinal carefully, he first froze its joints into position with liquid nitrogen, then popped the bird into his kitchen freezer. When the moisture in the bird's body had turned...
From the Sidelines. Among domestic issues, the biggest question up for debate will be the role of the Federal Govern ment in the management of the nation's economy.

At Ford, the runaway success of the Falcon is such that Ford has stopped releasing sales figures for standard Fords (the new Comet is also outselling its sister Mercury...
...peaceful, prosperous election year the Democrats were groping for a bread-and-butter issue, and suddenly they awakened to the Forand bill uproar just about the time that the House Ways & Means Committee, controlled by Democrats, was killing it off. Every one of the front-running Democratic presidential hopefuls endorsed the Forand bill or a close variation. Hubert Humphrey and Jack Kennedy introduced bills of their own that approximate Forand's but cut the surgical benefits...
