For a long time, not even her best friends would tell her. Then last week Senior City Councilor Arnaldo de Oliveira Sales took an olfactory tour of Hong Kong in a helicopter and pronounced that even from 300 feet up the place stank. The government promised that Gin Drinkers...
...most familiar, in the form of milk of magnesia, is magnesium hydroxide, and this is the main ingredient in many brand-name preparations. Since it has laxative properties, some manufacturers combine it with aluminum hydroxide, which is also antacid but, taken alone, is slightly constipating.

Guilty Plea. This rapid growth has involved the soft-drink makers in a feud with the sugar industry, since drinks for the weight watchers contain such sugar substitutes as saccharin and cyclamates. Sugar refiners are spending $1,000,000 on ads to downgrade the benefits of diet drinks, claiming that "trying to lose weight by drinking them is like trying to lighten an airplane by emptying the ashtrays." Last week Royal Crown Cola, whose Diet-Rite has captured half of the diet-cola market, retaliated with its own ads. Calling its critics "sugar daddies," Royal Crown said...
