...Charles unbent sufficiently, as one observer put it, "to seem intent on kissing an attractive blonde named Cindy, even in the fast dances." The pursued lass was Cynthia Buxton, a fellow student and daughter of one of Prince Philip's birdwatching companions. Charles also was seen occasionally with Sibylla Dorman, a tall, pretty history student whose father is Governor-General of Malta. "We get on very well," says Sibylla, but she refuses to be labeled a "girl friend." Generally, Charles dates friends of Princess Anne or daughters of his mother's friends, and it may well be that his wife...

He cited Rumania's Dr. Anna Asian, who claims to restore senile and decrepit patients with injections of procaine (Novocain) and vitamins.

...Dorman pointed out that it took the Food and Drug Administration almost 20 years to end U.S. sales of a phony cancer medicine produced by self-styled "Dr." Harry Hoxsey in Texas. The federal judge presiding over the case was taking the preparation himself to prevent recurrence of what he thought was cancer of the stomach. (It wasn't.) Now, said Dorman, a former nurse of Hoxsey's is making and selling the brew in Mexico...
