When he was rejected last week by the France he loved, it looked to some like the case of Athens' Aristides the lust, who was ostracized because Athenians were sick and tired of hearing him called "the lust." To others, it was simply a case of a man who has outlived his usefulness...
...CANCER. The claim was once made that while estrogens may cause cancer, as they do in many laboratory animals, the Pill seemed actually to afford some protection against breast cancer. More cautious now, the experts claim no protective effect, but assert unequivocally that they have seen no case of breast cancer that might have been caused by the Pill.

...Auto-Ceptor crash-restraint system is especially useful for drivers of minicars. In case of collision, big nitrogen-inflated nylon balloons pop out of the steering column and dashboard, pinning motorists to their seats and keeping them from flying through the windshield.

The Auto-Ceptor system works automatically: balloons inflate in one twenty-fifth of a second when...

" Since the seizure was improper, Brennan continued, the resulting fingerprints could not be used...
Louis Wolfson, who a decade ago controlled a $400 million industrial empire, accepted a painful verdict last week. Although a last-gasp technical appeal from a denial of a motion for a new trial is still pending in the case, the 57-year-old Miami Beach multimillionaire reported to Eglin Air Force Base near Pensacola, Fla., to begin serving a one-year prison sentence for illegally selling unregistered stock...
