Using U.S. students in Mexico City as willing guinea pigs, Dr. Kean and colleagues tested the value of drugs as preventives. They found that a popular nonprescription item, Entero-Vioform, gave no more protection than an inert (dummy) pill; an antibiotic, neomycin, appeared to give about 40% protection. But before they prescribe free-for-all use of such potent drugs as antibiotics and sulfas, the researchers want to know more about many factors, including viruses, as causes of globetrotters' trots...

The big item is pay. The average DC-7 captain gets $19,221 a year: American is offering $22,743 to fly turboprop Electras and a 44% hike to $27,650 annually for 707 jets. The Air Line Pilots Association has yet to make a firm counteroffer, except that the talk starts...
