...Washington University's Dr. Jonathan M. Williams told the International College of Surgeons in Chicago last week. Before surgery, hair is shampooed repeatedly with a surgical detergent enriched with hexachlorophene to sterilize the scalp. The hair is combed carefully away from the place of incision, made to lie flat and remain securely in place by spraying with a non-lacquer wave-set compound. The operation is performed in the normal manner, but surgeons need expose less than three-quarters of an inch of scalp in making the incision. Dr. Williams notes that many women become depressed after having their...
...your Aug. 26 story on Confidential and Hollywood: please be more careful in future about associations.

The point currently at issue: Does the broadcasters' control...
...Motor Co. put its long-awaited Edsel on display this week. The first new "Big Three" car since Ford brought out the Mercury in 1938 is a recognizable Ford product without radical jetlike fins or bomb-shaped bumpers. Like Ford and Mercury, it presents a squarish appearance with a flat rear deck, horizontal taillights that flare up and out, an oval, uncluttered grille reminiscent of the elegant Cord of the '30s. Under its hood is a burly engine turning up 303 h.p. in the less expensive models, 345 h.p. in the top-priced line. Inside is the ultimate...
