...fund raisers. His rhetoric certainly remained colorful. Labor leaders protested when Reagan allowed convicts to help harvest California fruit and vegetable crops, but Reagan at a press conference pointed out that the union had failed to provide sufficient manpower to bring in the crops before they were in danger of rotting. Said Reagan of the union leaders: "Sometimes they remind me of a dog sitting on a sharp rock howling with pain, who is too stupid to get up."

Pittsburgh teachers even get extra pay to develop new ideas on curriculums and texts. In Chicago, union representatives meet monthly with the school superintendent to discuss educational policy and sit on curriculum committees...

Dr. Fuson had an added personal reason for investigating cholestyramine, he told the American College of Surgeons last week. In his early 30s, he already had a cholesterol reading above 250 mg., on the edge of the danger zone, and he weighed 226 Ibs. There was a depressing history of heart disease in his family...
