...stones" range in size from a grain of sand to a marble. They are made up of cholesterol, bile acids and other digestive substances, and when they interfere with the flow of fat-digesting bile to the duodenum (see diagram), they may cause sharp and colicky pain, especially after a heavy, fatty meal. This is what happened to President Lyndon Johnson at his Texas ranch early last month...
...absorbing too much sound. Hall's deep-pile gold carpeting is rolled up and replaced with black vinyl. All 1,384 thick-cushioned seats on main floor are removed and replaced with 1,502 skinnier wood-back models. Rivulet-shaped panels are tacked on side walls to reflect flow of sound from stage. Hall looks like it was just given permanent wave. Total cost: $470,000. Acoustically, critics happier. Musicians too. Sound is livelier. Bass and high strengthened, echoes reduced. But visually, verdict is negative. Hall looks completely different. Blue walls now recreation-room russet. Curling wall panels clash...
...Bind. While constricting the flow of money abroad, the Administration is most anxious not to let money tighten too much at home. The U.S. supply of money has already begun to tighten, largely because of the record demand for credit. Bank loans have risen 16% this year to a total $48 billion; corporate loans and consumer credit are each rising by about $1 billion a month. Worried about the possibility of inflation, the Federal Reserve Board has contributed to the tightening simply by not adding enough to the money supply to keep up with loan demand. The board...

"We never closed the ports," he thundered. "The imperialists closed all the routes, and for three years they have been making propaganda, fraudulent and dirty. Very well. We must put an end to this at once...
...Science, other researchers offer much the same conclusion. All of which suggests that other Martian craters, predating those that Mariner saw, formed and vanished eons ago. What happened to them? All the researchers agree that they must have been eroded away - perhaps by swirling dust storms, perhaps by a flow of Martian water. "In any event," conclude Anders and Arnold, "the crater density on Mars no longer precludes the possibility that liquid water and a denser atmosphere were present on Mars during the first 3.5 billion years of its history." If there was water, there may have been life...
