...Procardia letter is not the only example of an FDA corrective attack on drug-advertising practices. Last June the agency ordered Eli Lilly and Co. to revise the press kit it had prepared on Oraflex, an arthritis medication. The kit contained releases implying that the drug could retard the course of arthritis, a claim based on inconclusive animal studies.

A Census Bureau report covering 1980 just goes by the numbers: "About one-half of all families below the poverty level in 1980 were maintained by women with no husband present. The poverty rate for such families was 32.7%, compared with 6.2% for married-couple families, and 11% for families with a male householder, no wife...
