...obtained a license to manufacture or distribute Laetrile in any state. For one thing, some state health authorities seem ready to drag their feet on issuing permits. Arizona Health Services Director Suzanne Dandoy predicts a long delay because her staff lacks the expertise and research data needed to set guidelines. Says Thomas Caton, executive director of Oregon's state board of pharmacy: "We have to do some study to define purity and dose levels...
...credits and rebates. Last week the Administration lost several important skirmishes. By big majorities, the committee scrapped the Carter idea to award rebates to buyers of small, economical cars, a provision that could have favored imported vehicles over Detroit's products.

Even if Mayor Alfred Vellucci had never raised the issue...
...incompetence surrounding the selection of the University's new athletic director has proved an embarrassment to the administration. It has been several months since Robert B. Watson '37 announced his retirement effective this summer, and as of yet no replacement has been found. The blame for such an inexcusable delay lies not with a few individuals, but rather in the attitude with which the whole affair has been approached...
