A couple and their three friends were ordered to lie on the ground, and then were threatened by more than a dozen Guardsmen armed with automatic weapons. Lieut. General John L. Throckmorton...
...country is afflicted with one billion unfilled cavities, five per head. It adds that 26 million Americans have lost all their teeth, while 80% of those over the age of 15 have some form of periodontal disease attacking the tissues that support the teeth. Worse, dental problems are proliferating faster than dentists can treat them...
