...great majority, are either disregarding the law altogether or their marriages are in serious trouble of breaking up." He feels that cumbersome marriage annulment procedures, which sometimes take several years, ought to be expedited. He militantly presses his church to support the ban-the-bomb movement, drawing a comparison between the church's concern for the lives of babies not conceived because of birth control and the apparent lack of the same solicitude for adults who might be killed in nuclear...
...overweight, including one 600-pounder-a fourfold fatty. After a night without food and no breakfast, the volunteers swallowed a stomach tube with balloon attached. Every 15 minutes the doctors asked: "Are you hungry? Does your stomach feel empty? Do you want to eat?" Normal subjects, tested for comparison, felt hungry whenever the pressure in the balloon showed they were having stomach contractions. Not the obese patients. Overweight women rarely admitted that they felt hungry, even when their stomachs said they should, the doctors report in the Archives of General Psychiatry. Overweight men said they felt hungry nearly...

Author Burdick takes 313 pages of whirring, humming, and blowing of tubes to come up with an answer and makes next week's real-life drama at the Cow Palace seem, by comparison, as orderly and rational as a convention of geometry teachers...
...halves of the double bill now playing at the Experimental Theater, the production of de Ghelderode's Escurial is very good, that of Synge's Riders to the Sea, poor. But the comparison is hardly fair. Few actors in the Harvard community could match the technical virtuosity of Mark Bramhall and Peter MacLean, who play the central characters in de Ghelderode's drama. And in its quiet way, Riders to the Sea is a much more difficult play. Escurial is a shock piece, a sort of dramatic danse macabre acted out by a demented, tyrannical king (MacLean) and his distraught...
This Eastern-clique business is a fetish with Goldwater and his followers; they constantly compare 1964 to 1952, when, they insist, the Republican kingmakers of the industrial Northeast cheated Robert A. Taft out of the Republican nomination. The comparison, of course, is absurd. Bill Scranton has not achieved the national stature of a Dwight Eisenhower, and Barry Goldwater is far, far from being a Bob Taft. Moreover, the storied kingmakers who launched Ike into politics-and thereby won undying enmity from the G.O.P.'s conservative wing-did not catapult Scranton, or anyone else, into the race...
