...dollar-selling orgy was stopped, no economic policy of any kind had a chance of succeeding. The Administration has now shown speculators that the dollar can go up as well as down, and the boldest seller will think twice about fighting against an additional $30 billion war chest...
...from West Virginia, who first served in Congress 46 years ago and has never felt any need to use this newfangled television. This year he is in a tight fight against former Governor Arch Moore, so Garth was called in. Result: half of Randolph's $500,000 campaign chest will be used on television.

A battery-powered miniature pump zippered into another vest pocket propels the solution through a tube implanted in Jason's skin midway between his rib cage and navel. The tube runs up his chest to the base of his neck, where it threads into a vein leading to the superior vena cava, the large vessel that finally returns blood from the head and neck to the heart...
