Almost every U.S. city has on the books a clutter of old, obscure laws that are hardly ever enforced. In Wash ington, D.C., for example, it is illegal to sell an ice-cream cone. A law to that effect was passed by Congress in 1921 and signed by Woodrow Wilson on his last full day in office as President of the U.S. Designed to protect the public against spoilage, the law makes it a mi demeanor to sell ice cream in Washington except in easily iced standard units - half pints, pints, quarts...
Last week the House of Representa tives finally acknowledged modern refrigeration and amended the old ice cream-cone law. The Senate is expected to go along.

Incredible as it may seem to ABC's metropolitan viewers, he may be around for a long time. It's a big country...
Next to the electric outlet, hardly any American invention is as omnipresent as ice-cold cola. In bottle, can, cup or glass, cola is drunk from White House to roadhouse, and few Americans can travel far at work or play without finding an automatic cola dispenser handy. In the huge industry that has grown up to satisfy this thirst, 77-year-old Coca-Cola is still by far the leader, with 1962 sales of $568 million and profits of $47 million. Coke's closest competitor is Pepsi-Cola, which has closed part of the gap in the last decade...
