...Chick of Time. From Salt Lake City, syndicated advice-to-the-lovelorn Columnist Ann Landers received a breathless request for her dating-behavior booklet "How Far to Go" with the postscript: "And please hurry...
...minor prizes: for an animated-cartoon dialogue between a cat and a lion extolling Calo Cat Food and for a series of still pictures backed up by a sophisticated ballad ("Some girls think summer means stockings goodbye. If that's your trick you're an unhip chick") plugging Chemstrand nylons. Unfortunately for U.S. admen, their prize TV pitchmen were not entered in the Venice competition.

By then, it would grow in eggs. He grew six crops that way and 14 in chick-cell cultures. With this end product he inoculated fresh, measles-free monkeys. The weakened virus lived a while in their throats but never multiplied in their blood. The monkeys developed antibodies which, months later, still gave protection. One major problem remained: to show that the weakened virus, which might be used...
