...copy to relate the simple message that this is the Pudding show we're seeing-or even that the full title of the show was Rhinestones in the Rough -or exactly what the Pudding is-or what the show was about. Since Rhinestone was hardly a hot item, in this year's calvade of Harvard entertainment, one would think that the yearbook would be considerate enough to explain for the uninitiated at least in a cursory fashion the event they've devoted so much space...
...item you unveil this morning as "news"-namely that two (as opposed to five) speakers had accepted for this teach-in-was in fact explicitly stated in our release. We initially thought this might be good: it would attract less radical attention, and perhaps our speakers would be heard. But the scheduling of all the anti-war demonstrations over the weekend and this week convinced us that our teach-in might still be an irresistible target for the left...
...cover subjects include Henry Ford, inflation and Arthur Burns. The Church cover that attracted most attention was his first, "Inefficiency in America" (March 23, 1970). The article was so well received that Church went out of his way to list all the preparations that contributed to its success.

Variously known as Slim Shorts and Air Shorts, and priced anywhere from $6 to $14, the plastic pants are put on, inflated with the accompanying air pump, and worn for half an hour or so. Like last year's popular Sauna Belt, the shorts work by trapping body heat between vinyl and skin; the heat, it is claimed, "breaks down fatty tissue." Some doctors think, however, that the weight that melts away is actually just water that is lost through perspiration. Shorts...
Repertory of Repair. Only four years ago, this and other operations to improve the circulation of blood to overtaxed hearts were either unknown or experimental. Now revascularization, or "replumbing," has become the most popular item in the thoracic surgeon's repertory of heart repairs-and with good reason. Most of the 500,000-plus Americans who die each year of heart disease suffer from atherosclerosis, the buildup of hard, fatty deposits that narrow the coronary arteries and cut off the flow of oxygenated blood to the heart muscles. Only revascularization, which is simpler and safer than transplant surgery, offers...
