...Guard Insults. Despite this help, North Korea is anything but a Soviet satellite. Kim has refused to dispatch a delegation to Moscow's conference of the world's Communist parties this June. He remains equally cold to the Chinese, neglecting to send even a routine message of greetings to Mao's Ninth Party Congress, currently in progress in Peking. He has a good excuse: the Chinese barely acknowledged North Korea's 20th-anniversary celebrations last year, and during the carefree days of Red Guard rioting Kim was assailed as a "disciple of Khrushchev...
...staff, counting volunteers and part-time workers, that numbers around nine. While she does not exactly take this cushion for granted, she occasionally presumes on it. Her tendency to be unaware of how other people live makes her seem demanding at times. She can ask her women friends to help with mail or join in welcoming somebody home from Zambia and fail to understand why they cannot run right over.

Instinctive Chickens. One hint that REM sleep may help creatures master and retain new experiences came from research on chickens. Instinct-driven chicks do most of the learning essential to their existence during the first 24 hours of life.

Money from the "Smokehouse," as staffers call it, has started several local anti-cigarette projects. In Bakersfield, Calif., teen-agers have been given a $52,000 grant and professional help to prepare commercials, posters and bumper stickers (SMOKE, CHOKE, CROAK). The pilot project there has been so successful that it will be repeated in several other cities this fall. The director of the clearinghouse, Dr. Daniel Horn, a pioneer cancer researcher, urges medical men to deliver anti-smoking appeals while they treat patients in their...
...have proved devastating to the industry. They are prepared by the American Cancer Society and other groups, often with volunteer help from top ad agencies, and they usually have more punch than regular commercials. Cigarette ads must pass the industry's self-policing advertising code, which assures a certain blandness by ruling out appeals to youth and suggestions of athletic or social prowess. Often, pro-and anti-ads appear in startling juxtaposition. The American Tobacco Co. sponsors network broadcasts of NBC-TV's Laugh-In, but viewers can get the antismoking side during local station breaks...
