...their doctors while taking Enovid, and no ill effects have been reported. Though the Food and Drug Administration is studying the cases of women who developed thrombophlebitis while taking Enovid, it sees no proof yet of cause and effect, and no cause for alarm-only the need for caution...

After registering substantial gains for six successive trading days, the market faltered on Friday, July 6, and fell eight points, to close at 576.17 on the Dow-Jones industrial average, a country mile away from the high point of 734.91 last Dec. 13.

With uninhibited confidence, Nestlé has made a success of peddling canned milk in dairy-rich Denmark and instant coffee in Brazil. Most of the company's earnings are poured back into expansion: its 70,000 shareholders, many of them Swiss farmers, get only a 1.2% annual dividend and equally meager information on Nestl...
