...traditionally fat U.S. trade surplus shrank to almost nothing last year largely because of steel. Foreign steel makers, who accounted for less than 5% of the U.S. market as recently as 1961, won a 12% share in 1967 and a surprising 17% in 1968. American pur chases of steel from abroad last year reached a record $1.5 billion...
...Jacob Javits, looking fat and enormously confident, pointed out sourly that the speech was a strongly partisan one, an effort to rally the Democratic troops behind the Johnson programs and even behind Johnson himself. Apparently annoyed by LBJ's attempt to steal Nixon's already-feeble thunder, Javits went on to explain that the Johnson programs were really outdated anyhow, just warmed-over New Deal policies, and so on.

Regardless of the degree of saturation in his fat intake, every man is a highly complicated metabolic factory. His system stashes away some cholesterol in the tissues. It makes more cholesterol in the liver. It combines cholesterol and other fatty substances with proteins in two major forms, alpha and beta lipoproteins, so that they can circulate in the watery medium of the blood. A change in the ratio of the alpha and beta types may encourage the development of artery disease through the deposit of atheromatous (mushy, fatty) plaques in the narrow vessels. Further complicating the picture is a class...
