...students even permitted him to speak without too much uproar. The 6-7 hours that the Dow Chemical man was "imprisoned" saw great student turmoil as it was virtually a constant mass meeting with students voting on all sorts of radical political questions. Along with this intellectual ferment went such ludicrous touches as the somewhat elderly campus police linking arms in the basement of Mallinckrodt practicing a flying wedge, should they be called on. Several deans on the college administrative board sat out the furor with the Dow Chemical man, but along the way took students' names and demanded that...
Nearly as many gas patients, about 20% of the total, produce either too much or too little gastric acid. Shortage of acid favors establishment of abnormal bacteria that ferment food in the intestines; this condition usually can be corrected by medicine containing dilute hydrochloric acid. Hyperacidity and peptic ulcer may lead to an excess production of carbon dioxide, and hence to flatulence, through the interaction of gastric acid on bicarbonates from the digestive juices. Standard ulcer medicines -antacids in liquid or tablet form-and diet should relieve this type of gaseousness...

"It has helped art move from a private scene to a public scene," he points out. "In an odd way, the people who supported pop contributed to this by living public lives through mass media. We got to see their collections in magazines; they were talked about in the press, on TV. Their lives became public, and it made the general public much more aware of art and artists...
