...widow of the great dust-bowl folk singer Woody Guthrie, and 40 or so friends and relatives came up from New York by special bus. The bus was late, and could not make it up the last hill. No matter. Everybody, including Justice of the Peace Donald M. Feder, just waited happily, drinking champagne or beer and eating Alice Brock's shrimp curry, turkey and roast beef, the same kind she used to serve in her restaurant in nearby Stockbridge. Arlo's hippie friends wandered to and fro, the girls in their gowns and see-through blouses...
Died. Louis Feder, 77, king of the toupee makers, who ministered to the bald and the balding for 50 years; of cancer; in Miami Beach, Fla. The Austrian-born wigmaker established the House of Louis Feder, Inc., in 1914, created his famous "Tashay" (he abhorred the term "toupee") and advertised it as "a hurricane-resisting hairpiece that can be combed and brushed, kept on in high winds and when swimming, and worn for weeks without removal." By the time he retired in 1964, his company had sold wigs to more than 100,000 happy clients. When someone asked...
...With these," says Dr. Robert Feder, a Beverly Hills ear specialist, "everything is reamplified many times, and the noise becomes nearly intolerable." Dr. Victor Goodhill of Hollywood reports that sound levels in many rock-'n'-roll night clubs soar to 125 db. Dr. Charles P.

Throughout the audible-speech range, Lebo found that the sound intensity averaged over 100 db at virtually all frequencies...
...circumvented this difficulty by "fixing" the ribosomes by tanning them with formaldehyde. Yet, according to Kafatos, this did not end the problem because tanning may alter the particles chemically so that the results may not be definitive. After a years's work, Kafatos, in collaboration with a colleague, Ned Feder, now at the National Institute of Health, synthesized a different salt to use in the centrifuge in which ribosomes would be stable. It took some detective work to decide what that salt should be, but finally they succeeded. Their salt, made from cesium and, in substance, similar to vinegar, preserves...
...weighing the objections, Judge Alexander discounted the fear of feder al control since "it is clear that the local communities are the ones to initiate a program, design it, and then operate it after it is founded." He pointed out that lawyers who already serve the poor on a contingency basis need have no fear of financial loss, since the C.L.S. would not take cases normally handled by lawyers for a contingent fee. He dismissed the alleged loss of the poor man's free choice of a lawyer, since that choice usually amounts to little more than leafing through...
