...legal machinery (TIME, April 5), finally came to an end last week in a Salerno courtroom. Eight months ago, in a search for drugs along the Amalfi coast, Italian police entered Berger's rented villa while he was entertaining dinner guests and found marijuana (nine-tenths of one gram) in a snuff box, less than enough for one joint. That was more than enough for them to arrest Berger, his wife Carol, 39, and seven guests...
Contreras' claims for Laetrile are as modest as his fees. The doctor charges only $10 for a first visit, $7 for subsequent visits, $3 for a gram of the drug. He says that Laetrile is just "another chemotherapeutic agent against cancer," though it seems clear that many of his patients feel otherwise. They claim complete cures or remissions after only months on the drug. Their contentions are difficult to assess, since few have submitted themselves for examinations at recognized medical facilities...
...since I do it my self." A former colleague of Zumwalt's in Saigon, Chandler is so enthusiastic about the freer atmosphere under The Big Z that he tries to keep a step ahead.

Metcalf estimates that Lake Michigan contains 10,000 Ibs. of dissolved DDT. About 50 trillion insects leave the lake annually, each one containing .0000001 gram of the pesticide. If 10% of the bugs were trapped and burned every year−and no more DDT was sprayed around the watershed−the lake could be free of the pesticide in a decade...
...prime source of air pollution, the Buffalo city council has adopted the nation's first anti-lead ordinance. Starting next September, all service stations in the city must have at least one pump for low-leaded gas. In 1976, the sale of gas with more than one-half gram of lead per gallon will be prohibited. The goal by Jan. 1, 1980: no leaded gas in Buffalo. Meanwhile, Akron has ordered a ban on the sale of detergents containing phosphates by June 30, 1972. Offenders will be slapped with fines ranging from $100 to $300 and jail sentences...
