...their necks, the dogs were hooked up to a smoking machine every morning and afternoon. After a cigarette was lit, the dogs were permitted to inhale at will. After five straight puffs, they were given a few breaths of fresh air. They were broken in gently on just one filter-tip cigarette for the first few days; after seven months they had worked up to as many as a dozen regular-length nonfilters a day. Beagles were chosen because their lung structure resembles humans', and the twelve-cigarette daily dosage was considered the equivalent of heavy smoking...
...lunar color photography, Jet Propulsion Laboratory scientists in Pasadena first commanded the mirror mounted above Surveyor's fixed, black-and-white television camera to swivel and tilt until it reflected the proper piece of lunar terrain into the cam era lens. By radioed signal, they start ed a filter wheel turning until a red filter was in front of the lens. Then they ordered the camera to photograph the scene. The procedure was repeated twice more, once with a green and finally with a blue filter...
...Pasadena, Surveyor's TV trans missions were converted into three black-and-white transparencies that had subtle differences in shading caused by Surveyor's filters.

The result: a reconstituted color picture that is "a fair approximation of the actual scene...

American Tobacco is trying out "Mayo's Spearmint Blend,"* and Philip Morris...

Under the FTC ban on nicotine-tar advertising, Lorillard's Kent, once the runaway leader of the filter pack, has slipped from 11% of the filter market in 1958 to 5.9%, while the company's overall sales have gone from 1963's record $521 million to last year's $479 million. In both its Kent and Newport brands, Lorillard is pretty certain that it can outdo the field in low nicotine and tar content...
