...strenuous pace, Dr. James N. Lynch, secretary of the Chicago Dental Society, last week added "executive mouth." Plenty of dental defects, said Dr. Lynch, are caused by "the same factors that contribute to what we call success in life." Hard-driving businessmen seeking release from stress clench their teeth, jut their jaws, grind their molars-both on the job and in their sleep. In cases of irregular bite, this leads to pyorrhea, which causes the bone around the tooth to dissolve. Result: the teeth loosen and may fall...
...Florida's Cape Canaveral comes a creature from the ages. The armadillo, his precision-made armor plate intermeshing fluidly, moseys along, oblivious of time. Skittering across his path is another anachronism, the beady-eyed, evil-looking horned lizard, uglier than the sum of the menacing spikes that jut from his body. On trundles the armadillo, scarcely noticing a wide hole in the ground. From the hole run two telephone lines; a few feet away, they connect to a pair of phones lying in a ditch.

In the past 56 years Egypt had never claimed them. Nasser followed up his first note with another announcing that he was sending election officials into the areas so that the inhabitants of the two areas could vote in the plebiscite ratifying the Egyptian-Syrian...
CHEVROLET will be 5 in. longer, 3 in. lower (but still 1.5 in. higher than Chrysler's 1957 Plymouth), will get a new body and frame, a smoother-riding rear suspension and a bigger engine. One big styling change: new heavy tail fins, which jut out at a 45° angle...
...already added a mile-long dock, two grain elevators (total capacity: 13 million bu.), three modern cargo sheds (capacity: 300,000 sq. ft.), ten miles of railroad and five miles of access roads. Milwaukee is investing $11.2 million. Among its projects: a $5,500,000 steel pier that will jut 1,020 ft. into Lake Michigan and a $1,300,000 pier in the outer harbor. Duluth, working with $10 million allotted by the Minnesota legislature, will build eleven slips for deep-draft ships, expects to spend $30 million in all by 1965. Cleveland is budgeting...
