...first to snap back at Mackie. Said President Romney: "In the matter of compact-car safety, 400 major U.S. insurance companies do not agree with Mr. Mackie.

But, faced with never-ending divorce bulletins from Hollywood, puritans are certain that actors, unlike decent people, have the morals of hamsters.

When a diseased heart stops or goes into fibrillation (a useless twitching and fluttering), it can often be restored to normal beat by a single electric shock. In more stubborn cases, small electrical impulses must be transmitted to the heart at a near normal pulse rate (60 to 72 per minute...
...parents directly, so that they may place their children in such schools as they deem proper. Free choice in education is the essence of the G.I. plan; the Government gives the assistance, but does not require the recipient to attend a Government school. Why should state educational assistance differ? ANTHONY W. DALY Alton...
