...readers on their physical, mental and marital symptoms, spurned their dental troubles until 1956 when a young (32), crew-cut Cincinnati dentist named Peter Garvin decided to fill the cavity. Three months after its first appearance in Columbus' Ohio State Journal (circ. 80,834), Dentist Garvin's column (title: "Your Teeth") was picked up by General Features Corp. and offered to newspapers across...
Five months later, when Dentist Garvin's home-town Cincinnati Times-Star (157,409) started running his bylined weekly column and published a picture and thumbnail sketch of its author, the Cincinnati Dental Society objected that "Your Teeth" was a "weekly advertisement" and thus violated its code of ethics. Last August the dental society's twelve-man council voted to extract his membership card...
Dentist Garvin vowed to appeal his case to the state and nationa' dental societies and the courts, if necessary. His column, ballyhooed by General Features ("More reader interest than a) politics, b) baseball, c) Elvis Presley, d) canals, or e) Marilyn Monroe, COMBINED!"), is running in about 50 papers. Meanwhile, the Des Moines Register and Tribune Syndicate is starting a rival column written by a Cleveland dentist who is retired and thus need not heed the cries of his fellow dentists should he touch them on a sensitive nerve. Dentist Garvin himself is so flooded with would-be patients...
Vacillating Peasants. A little past noon we set off, walking in an extended column down the middle of the street. It was less than a mile to the palace. The nearer we approached, the more troops we encountered. Each carried a rille, bristled with grenades, was festooned with cartridge belts. Passers-by stopped as we went past, but seldom spoke. After staring at us with sympathetic eyes, they hurried on their way. As we marched, I conferred with V. M. Chernov, one of the SR party leaders...
Rigid Program. But nothing has been permitted to interfere with the expedition's rigid program of scientific observations. Teams of scientists leapfrog each other, spurting ahead of the column to set up their instruments, and spurting to catch up when they are left behind. Every ten miles they take cores of snow and ice, sometimes 200 ft. deep. Such cores are like petrified weather: they have layers and particles in them that tell the history of Antarctic centuries...
