Most authorities agree that sex education should start early. The superintendent of schools in the New York City suburb of Glen Cove, where sex education begins in kindergarten, reports that he has received 800 requests from other school systems and church groups for a pamphlet describing the program. Glen Cove kindergartners discuss the coming of a new baby into the family group. "We make it clear that the baby was not 'got' at the hospital, but grew inside the mother until the doctor helped it get out," says Glen Cove's Mrs. Rose Daniels, sex-education consultant...
Calories Don't Count was the come-on title of a book by Dr. Herman Taller that has sold almost 2,000,000 copies to would-be weight losers since 1961. The book particularly recommended use of safflower-oil capsules made by Cove Vitamins and Pharmaceuticals, and then was used in Cove promotion. Trouble was, the capsules were virtually useless in the prescribed doses. At least that was the contention of the Food and Drug Administration, and last week a federal jury in Brooklyn finally found Taller guilty on eight counts of mail fraud, three of violating FDA regulations...
...today no such situation exists. Public education in the United States is second to none, and no one is foolish enough to assert that people attend prep schools because of educational equality back home. For, indeed, where do the bulk of such students come? From Brookline and Glen Cove, from Darien and Shaker Heights--the very areas with some of the best public secondary schools in the nation.

...still standard fare, but Los Angeles has also acquired restaurants that rival the nation's best, such as Perino's, Scandia, the Bistro and Duke's Glenn Cove. New nightspots are proliferating (the most popular: The Daisy and The Other Place); but there is virtually no such thing as nightclub hopping. The clubs are so far apart that, as Actor Peter Falk complains, "You have to pack water," and Los Angeles is an early-to-bed, early-to-rise town where many executives have to be up in time to tune in with New York...
...Continental for the water, he has taken to spending his time at the helm of his 19-ft., 60-m.p.h. fiberglass speedboat. Particularly toward evening, when the air cools and the water stills, the President takes to 22-mile-long Lake Lyndon B. Johnson, often searching out a secluded cove where he and his party can have privacy from peering eyes. Clamping down his yellow golfer's cap, clenching the wheel like a vise, Johnson really opens up the throttle, leaving broad wakes and gaping mouths behind him. He goes so fast, in fact, that the Secret Service...
