...appalled to read in the article on lasers [Jan. 12] that in addition to repairing retinal detachments as a medical usage, lasers were also used to remove cataracts. I have spent a number of hours over the past several years explaining to patients that lasers are not used in the removal of cataracts. In fact, the presence of a cataract many times precludes using the laser in treatment of diseases of the back of the eye, since the laser beam will not penetrate a dense cataract...
...meantime, Bayh supporters have been holding small parties and receptions for potential donors in such states as California, New York, Illinois, Massachusetts and New Hampshire. But a series of dinners organized in New York on Jan. 22, Bayh's 48th birthday, netted only $50,000.

...sometimes bracing, sometimes abrasive role as Ambassador to the U.N. (TIME cover, Jan. 26), Moynihan has long felt himself insufficiently supported by Kissinger and the State Department. In his "brief essay," sent to Kissinger two weeks ago as part of a year's end report, he complained that unspecified State Department officials were undermining his U.N. tactics.

During January 635.9 million shares changed hands, or 39% more than in May 1975, the previous record...
With so much going for it, Aztec became a ripe candidate for takeover by other companies. The first attempt came on Jan. 2: Mesa Petroleum offered Aztec shareholders $22 a share. Aztec executives resisted, saying that the offer was too low. Aztec solicited other suitors, among them Southland Royalty Co. and Houston Natural Gas, which between them shoved the bidding to $32. Then Houston dropped out, leaving Aztec to Southland, a Fort Worth oil and gas distributor with annual revenues of $65 million. At week's end at least 90% of Aztec's shares had been tendered...
