...four years, New Jersey's Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. has provided free drugs for any private patient whose doctor certifies that he cannot afford them. Last week Roche announced an other generous move that may put a welcome dent in the huge drug bill that the Federal Government expects to pay for Medicare patients. Heeding President Johnson's "plea to prevent spiraling costs," Roche slashed by 25% the price of all drugs that it sells to hospitals for treating Medicare patients...
...slightly less spectacular is Great Power, a two-year-old with five victories in seven starts and $97,225 in the bank. Two weeks ago, at Illinois' Arlington Park, Buckpasser won the American Derby-on the same day that Great Power was winning the Sapling Stakes at New Jersey's Monmouth Park. That double play was worth $146,791, gave Trainer Neloy a total of 29 stakes victories so far this year, and boosted the Phippses' 1966 winnings to more than...
...World under lines Fiedler's conviction that the basic tone of U.S. creative intellectual life has become Jewish. He takes a poet, fashionable yesterday, hopelessly square today-a gangling, bearded figure of Protestant, romantic, outgoing, Western America-and sticks him in a Jewish wedding in New Jersey.

The poet hero, doomed to an academic lecture circuit where he recites his now-hackneyed verses, is the husband of one and the official lover of two other voracious...
...purchase and possession of guns. Federal law curbs a few things, such as traffic in machine guns, sawed-off shotguns and silencers, but the regulation of firearms has been left largely to cities and states, which have built a crazy quilt of laws, few of them stringent. Until New Jersey enacted a new gun statute last week, no state (and only Philadelphia among U.S. cities) required police permits for buying, keeping, or even roaming Main Street with a shotgun or rifle. Only seven states and a handful of municipalities require permits for handguns...
...patient in the therapist. If doctors were expected by the public and their patients to report every threatening remark, they would soon have few patients. Moreover, as New York's Deputy Police Commissioner Sylvan Fox noted last week, "we can't arrest people because they are ill." Adds New Jersey Psychiatrist Henry A. Davidson: "We are in a situation now where there is enormous pressure for civil rights. The idea of locking someone up on the basis of a psychiatrist's opinion that he might in the future be violent could be repugnant." It would also be a very poor...
