...well as in title. Rumanians are clearly satisfied that the party leadership has refused to knuckle under. Ceausescu thus has accomplished in Rumania something like what Dubček earlier achieved in Czechoslovakia: the party has acquired its first genuinely widespread popularity. The Czechoslovak ambassador in Bucharest has a fat file containing the names of local families who have volunteered to take in stranded Czechs. A Rumanian writer who spent seven years in jail for organizing a demonstration in support of the rebel Hungarians in 1956 reported that scores of people are now joining the party-including many who were...
...rhythm as the only permissible method for many women. "If a woman has heavy or irregular periods, or painful periods, or sometimes has none, or if she has premenstrual tension or endometriosis, bleeding between periods, excessive hairiness or pimples [caused by an excess of androgenic hormones], or is excessively fat or is approaching the change of life, her doctor is morally justified in prescribing any treatment he likes. And that includes the pill." Dr. Cross's list is comprehensive enough to qualify about half the women in the world...

When a man is deprived of food, nature prolongs his life by helping him burn up whatever fat he has stored in his body. Perhaps because this has been known for so long, no one has figured out how nature does it, or whether the mechanism might be used to help fat people slim down. In 15 years of investigating this process, the University of London's Dr. Alan Kekwick and colleagues have found that people on a voluntary starvation regimen produce, somewhere in their bodies, a "fat mobilizing substance" (FMS). The substance speeds and eases the process whereby...
...creature not so far removed from the modern layman's view of him, which seems to be based mainly on Charles Laughton's famous roaring, slobbering portrayal in the 1933 film The Private Life of Henry VIII. He gorged himself at seven-hour banquets, eventually became so fat that he had to be moved up and down stairs by machinery. He toyed with court intrigues, then grimly ended them with executions; he was crude enough to greet the news of his first wife's death by dressing in yellow and staging a feast...
