...polyethylene spiral, designed by Dr. Lazar C. Margulies of Manhattan's Mount Sinai Hospital, can be inserted through a straight tube, and carries a threadlike "tail" punctuated with plastic beads...
Wind from the East. Suslov, a cadaverous, humorless court theoretician who served Stalin long before Khrushchev came to the fore, drove home his attack by disclosing that Old Stalinists Georgy Malenkov, Vyacheslav Molotov and Lazar Kaganovich, Sinophiles all, had been ousted secretly from the Communist Party in 1961. Suslov declared that the "antiparty" trio subscribed to the selfsame heresies as Mao. He singled out Molotov-who had variously been Soviet Premier (in 1930) and first editor of Pravda (1912)-for particular vituperation.

He never considers himself on vacation. Once, meeting 20th Century-Fox's Buddy Adler by chance in Paris, Lazar sold him Cole Porter's Can-Can for $750,000. On another occasion, he was saving money by flying tourist class when, looking beyond the partition, he saw Spyros Skouras sitting up forward in Firstville. "I could have sold Skouras $300,000 worth of stuff," he groans. That...
