...Corn Products Refining Co. praising "golden-light" Mazola salad-and-cooking oil as "pure corn oil . . . not hydrogenated, unsaturated, nutritionally unexcelled."

"Evidence is accumulating," said the ad, "that quality of the dietary fat may be more important than quantity...

United Aircraft reported last week that first-half shipments rocketed to $604 million from $458 million at the same time last year, and earnings reached $26 million, v. $21 million.

Instead, the committee pleaded for prompt, thorough and uncompromising research to fix the facts. But it made a notable concession to the foes of fats, and especially saturated fats, by conceding that in any well-balanced diet for general good health, the fat content should be sufficient only...
...heads. Her complaisant husband goes quietly mad: her current lover, an itinerant Irish schoolmaster, betrays a tubercular girl friend and she dies; her first seducer, Capodistria, whose memory has obsessed her all along, is brutally murdered. In the end, Justine flees to a kibbutz in Palestine, where she becomes fat, competent and, presumably, content...
