...parts of the human skeleton are more subject to wear than the mandible, or lower jawbone. Aging alone can cause the bone to atrophy, or waste away. Chewing, mainly by those wearing dentures, can greatly accelerate the loss. For years doctors have dealt with mandibular atrophy-and with providing a better anchorage for false teeth -by painful and time-consuming bone and skin grafts. Now a Detroit oral surgeon may have found a better way. At a meeting of the American Society of Oral Surgeons in Las Vegas tins week, Dr. Irwin A. Small of Sinai Hospital of Detroit reported...
...blistering chili pepper sauce. It marks the return of an earlier Reed hero, Papa LaBas, the great black shamus. To white readers, he is soul's answer to Sherlock Holmes.

With only 97 people on that dusty strip of riverbank out in the middle of nowhere--50 roadless miles from the nearest Indians--a definite tribal cohesion, not traditionally characteristic of the Montagnais tribe, has developed by necessity.

Moreover, the industry says that it simply does not have the technology to comply with the new restriction, and the Society of the Plastics Industry has sued to overturn OSHA's ruling...
...Supreme Court was widely praised in the "tapes" case for its holding that no man was above the law. President Ford, with all good intentions and even with personal magnanimity, has dealt this principle a serious blow. What are we now to do about John Mitchell, who may have already suffered as much as Richard Nixon and is still being prosecuted, or with the other underlings who, as far as anyone can tell, really executed orders from above? This effort to heal the wounds of Watergate has inflamed the existing and far more serious wounds in the principle of equality...
