...Died. Gerard B. Lambert, 80, venturesome businessman who made Listerine a U.S. household word by coupling his father's antiseptic mouthwash to the word halitosis (meaning bad breath in Latin), was so successful that he was able to sell out for $25 million in 1928, after which he spent four years, from 1931 to 1934, putting an edge on Gillette Co. (by introducing a one-piece razor and the blue blade) before retiring for good to sail his J-class sloops Yankee and Vanitie in numerous America's Cup trials without notable success; of arteriosclerosis; in Princeton...

...World's Fair. To keep the competition equally fair, the neutral students were tapped again as launchers, and contestants were separated into nonprofessionals and professionals (subscribers or people employed in aviation). As the paper planes swooped, looped and soared around the 96-ft.-high dome, Scientific American Publisher Gerard Piel, 52, called out the maneuvers on a p.a. system: "There's a snap stall-a pair of Immelmanns and a chandelle-a barrel roll-and a series of butterfly dives...

Stupendous Collision. To University of Arizona Astronomer Gerard Kuiper, one of the world's leading lunar experts, Orbiter's photograph seemed to confirm his theory that the 1,000-ft.-high mountains in the center of Copernicus were partially formed by volcanic activity. Scattered over their slopes, he says, are humps similar to the cinder cones found on major terrestrial volcanoes. The picture also clearly shows that the floor of the crater is remarkably flat. To Kuiper, this indicates that the subsurface was once in a fluid or plastic state, and that it solidified, causing the crater floor...

...easy being Luci Johnson Nugent's brother-in-law, it can't be easy being a front-line Marine officer in Viet Nam, and it must be doubled in spades being both at the same time. Nevertheless, 1st Lieut. Gerard Nugent, 24, apparently has the situation very well in hand. Commanding Echo Company of the 2nd Battalion 3rd Marine Division, he led his men in a frontal assault on a Communist training camp 20 miles from Danang that killed about 70 Viet Cong, then moved on to silence a sniper nest in high trees near Battalion H.Q. before...

...rumors that he shared his parents' Republican loyalties. The President himself cleared up the question of how the young Nugents would support themselves while attending the University of Texas. Luci, he said, has an income of her own of undisclosed size and source, and Pat's parents, Gerard and Tillie Nugent, had set aside some money for their son's graduate-school education. Further, it developed that the couple would not receive a small ranch in Texas as a wedding present from the Johnsons-at least not yet. They would get, instead, a large savings bond, denomination...
