Matter of Tone. After just ten weeks on the job, Goddard-the first physician in 40 years to chair the FDA-said that he had seen flagrant examples of sloppy research, improper labeling, and misleading advertising.

...their own wage costs down, U.S. textile firms have built nearly all their new plants in the Southeast and have vigorously opposed union attempts to organize them. Only a couple of weeks ago, the National Labor Relations Board, in an unusually strong order, ruled J. P.

As an alumnus, I sympathize with Dean Phelps' firm campaign to keep Harvard free of time-table Schlamperei and the crypto-inverts who practice...
...people don't get their entire education from pop music stations." He thought that the songs about Vietnam which were released at the end of last year were in poor taste, but continued to play them because "the world is full of poor taste. People are so accustomed to flagrant bad taste that they don't even know what it is any more...
