...communities around the country. Even so, 200 small towns have disappeared in the past 20 years, and they will almost certainly be depopulated at an even greater rate for years to come. If Lady Bird had no instant panacea for the vanishing America, she at least gave it a heart-plucking epitaph: "Here lies fresh air, a place to play, friendly neighbors. It was great while it lasted...
...Henry listed the drugs: one of the amphetamines, or "bennies"; phenobarbital, to reduce the nervousness caused by bennies; thyroid hormone, to increase metabolism; digitalis, the heart stimulant, for no discernible medical reason; and a thiazide diuretic to promote loss of body water. Each pill contained a safe daily dose of that particular drug, said Dr. Henry. But some of the dead women had taken several a day, and four of the thyroid or digitalis doses would be dangerous...
Worse still was the combination. Thyroid alone may make the heart more irritable. The thiazide diuretic and even the laxative reduce the body's store of potassium, and this definitely makes the heart more irritable.

Carson, his crew and the audience broke into a hysterical orgy of laughter that ran 3 min. 45 sec. on the tape-probably the longest sidesplitter in television history...
Died. Martin Block, 64, radio's original platter and patter man; during heart surgery; in Englewood, N.J. "It's Make-Believe Ballroom time," purled the theme song. "Put all your cares away." And millions did-to the tunes of Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Frank Sinatra, Dinah Shore. For the Ballroom's affable host, the recorded performers always came alive. "Great job, Benny," Block would applaud. "You never sounded better." The make-believe began in 1935 at New York's WNEW when Block's boss told him to pad news bulletins from the Lindbergh kidnap trial...
