With three weeks to go before the convention, Scranton's fight is uphill. Goldwater managers now claim some 700 delegates, more than enough to win nomination.* But of these, only about half are really committed. Of the others, many lean toward Barry mostly because they figure he might just as well be the Republican sacrifice in a Democratic year. If they were convinced that another candidate might actually win the presidency and carry hundreds of other Republicans into office with him, their loyalty to Barry almost certainly would waver and wane.

Next summer, the computers will render their verdicts on this and other variables in the volunteers' diets. Then the PHS will decide whether to launch a ten-year study of 100,000 men to settle, once and for all, the vexed questions of fats and the heart...
Mining in Canada seems to follow a pattern of seven years of fat, seven years of lean. The great uranium boom pumped $10 billion into the Canadian economy between 1950 and 1957, then fizzled. Now, after seven fairly slender years, a new mining rush is on. Some 900 companies are drilling for metals and oil from New Brunswick to British Columbia...
