...WBBM-TV, Salesman Frank Palmer all but burned up the airways. Winding up the 5 p.m. news, he lit his pipe just like a real Walter Cronkite, burned his fingers, dumped tobacco all over the desk, grinned wanly and shrugged. In Los Angeles, KNBC viewers telephoned the station to complain that Pinch Newscaster Harry Howe was chewing gum while reading the financial news. Not so, Howe later explained. Seems that while struggling with all those Dow-Jones figures, he dislodged a filling in his tooth and, not knowing whether to swallow it or spit it out, bounced it from cheek...
...first the drug worked well. Several days after a woman stopped taking it, she had what seemed like a normal but mild menstrual period. There were few side effects. But as the drug was further purified, Dr. Rock began to hear patients complain of too much "breakthrough bleeding" in mid-cycle. Analysis showed that the purified drug contained no detectable estrogen. Apparently estrogen, even in the most minute quantity, prevented some side effects, including unwanted bleeding.

I've been taking the pill for almost two years with no side effects, and it's much simpler than any other method I've tried." To the neurotics who complain that it is too difficult or too much trouble to take a pill a day, a 34-year-old mother in Oak Park, Mich., responds: "I have my hands full running after four little Indians, and if I had another I'd die. The mere thought of having...
...election next week, said a spokesman for Americans for Democratic Action, will be "pro forma"-which hardly speaks well for their democratic action. Still, the A.D.A.'s nominating committee had made such an imposing choice for its new national chairman that the membership is really not likely to complain. The unopposed candidate: Harvard Economist and old New Frontiersman John Kenneth Galbraith...
