Last week, after 13 years of testing on animals and men, Chicago's Abbott Laboratories announced that it was putting Dr. Sveda's synthetic sweetener on the market under the trade name Sucaryl Sodium. It is, say the producers, 30 to 50 times as sweet as cane sugar and has no food (caloric) value...
...production is run-of-the mill. Irving Harmon, the featured comedian, succeeds in milking a number of laughs from such standard skits as the phone booth routine, the twice-rented hotel room and the wishing wand gimmick.

They were worn with light-colored slacks. Usually, at the beach, the 65-year-old President simply sat in the sun, watching his staff frolic with a volleyball, then changed into bathing trunks...
