...most significant rise of all was for beef. Compared with a year ago, prices in April were up 8% for hamburger, 9% for sirloin and 10% for round steak. Some alarmed butchers predict that sirloin may hit $2 a Ib. this summer...
...commonest cause of premature death is premature birth, the reason for which is usually unknown except in cases of maternal illness. Prematurity as now defined is not necessarily birth before an elapsed gestation time of 280 days but birth, at any time, with a weight of 5¼ Ib. or less. For preemies, the first 28 days are especially hazardous. To care for them, University of Louisville Pediatrician Billy Andrews has devised an incubator setup so complex that medical students call it his physiology lab. Andrews maintains an around-the-clock watch on the preemies by taping up each...
...globulin that is unique to each patient. From a cooperative myeloma victim, the Rockefeller researchers obtained samples of blood and processed it to extract the globulin antibody. The remaining blood was returned to the donor. In H years, they got what by molecular standards is a huge amount-2 Ib...
...called for an immediate attack on Europe's agricultural surpluses, particularly of sugar and dairy products. The glut of butter, for example, amounts to 400,000 tons, and is known among Germans as the Butterberg (butter mountain). Mansholt wants to cut the butter support price-now 790 a Ib.-by 33%. He also advocates reducing dairy herds by 500,000 heads by paying farmers $300 for every cow they slaughter, a proposal reminiscent of Franklin Roosevelt's decision during the Depression to slaughter baby pigs as a way of both feeding the hungry and trimming pork surpluses...
...first U.S. manned flight since three astronauts were killed in a fire on the same launch pad 21 months before. Any more serious trouble would all but wipe out U S hopes of landing men on the moon before the end of 1969. Thus, as the towering Saturn IB rocket lifted ponderously off the pad after a heart-stopping moment of hesitation, U.S. hopes rose with it. At week's end, the eleven-day mission of Apollo 7 was proceeding as near to perfection as space officials had dared hope...
