...what did this fellow Swazey Mayer do? He strewed the opening scene with lovely, halfnaked things (girls, in case that leaves any ambiguity for the Allen Ginsberg set). For every occasion and for every character he created dances that showed the genetic influence of vaudeville, the Charleston, the Hasty Pudding, and Sergei Pavlovich Diaghilev. By some particularly brilliant stroke, he cast John Lithgow as Paramount the First, King of Utopia...
Last week two toddlers in Charleston, S.C., owed their prompt recoveries and probably their lives to the fact that young doctors remembered having read during the past year of a new and highly effective, but still experimental, treatment for iron poisoning. Lieut. Commander Lawrence G. Thorne, 31, was on duty at Charleston's U.S. Naval Hospital when two-year-old Michael V.

The nearest proved to be at Duke Hospital in Durham, N.C., and it took a special flight by a Navy plane to get the Desferal to Charleston in time.

Larry Jones, also aged two, had gorged himself on mother's iron tablets and was in critical condition. Pediatrician John R. Paul Jr. decided to take the same steps as Dr. Thorne. The trick was to find more Desferal, and it turned out that Duke Hospital had had only that one dose. Another was located at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, and this time an Air Force plane picked it up. When Larry was finally out of danger, Dr. Paul said...
...Charleston, W.Va., Barry blasted Lyndon Johnson's war on poverty as a "phony, vote-getting gimmick" and "a raid on your pocketbooks." West Virginia, of course, is practically a casebook study of the depressed area...
