...cavity consciousness reached some sort of peak last week in Monroe County, Ind. In field houses, armories, factories, football stadiums and high school gymnasiums, more than 29,000 people gathered to scrub their teeth for about 21 minutes, as part of a mass "brush-in" to demonstrate the decay-preventing qualities of a new dental paste. The paste, manufactured under the name of Zircate, reportedly guards against cavities for as long as a year-after only one application...
...supplies. But such efforts are not enough, he maintains. Only 155 million of 200 million persons in the U.S. are served by treatable public water supplies. Of them, only 82 million now drink water containing natural or supplemented fluoride. Muhler compounded his new paste to provide protection against tooth decay for 100% of the population, and particularly for disadvantaged preschool children, among whom dental care is the most neglected health service...
Muhler's new decay preventive will not be sold over the counter. Since indiscriminate use of his potent fluoride formula could be damaging, it must be applied under the direction of a dentist or a dental hygienist.

In Viet Nam, 400,000 combat troops, who average only one brushing every 21 days, have taken the treatment. Two hundred thousand additional soldiers...

Nixon currently enjoys a slight edge in Missouri, but if Humphrey picks up any momentum at all in the final weeks, he might be able...
...With the decay of a revolution, Lifton writes, "the dying revolutionary can envision nothing but the total extinction of his own self." Because Mao and a few around him suffer from this "sur vivor paranoia," China "must be made to convulse." Thus the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution was contrived by Mao and his aging comrades in a quest for the rebirth of zealous Communism in China. To stoke the fires of fanaticism, the leaders called forth specific images of hate: "American imperialism," "bourgeois remnants," and "modern revisionism," and turned the Red Guard loose in the streets...
