...ward off the sun, which can skyrocket the temperature up to 240° F., the camera is equipped with a highly polished bottom and a top cover treated with heat-resistant paint. It operates on only 6.5 watts of power-less than that used by a household night light. Though it cost about $400,000, the camera is as disposable as an aluminum beer can. Sad to say, this tough little minibrute was destined to be left behind on the surface of the moon...
...anything, the Nixon Administration has been less than apologetic about the practice. Last month, in a memorandum filed during the Chicago trial of eight men charged with conspiring to incite acts of violence during the Democratic National Convention, the Justice Department claimed the inherent right to bug or wiretap-without court orders-any time it felt that the "national security" was in jeopardy, As authority for this broad power, the Government cited the President's oath to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution" from domestic subversion as well as foreign enemies.

In their hostile environment, the Kalahari Bushmen find enough to eat with less effort than most civilized peoples. Anthropologist Lee estimates that the Bushman's daily diet averages 2,140 calories and 93.1 grams (3.26 oz.) of protein-well in excess of the estimated daily allowance for people of their vigor and size (1,975 calories, 60 grams of protein). The Bushmen have...
...their advertising. Others are effective only for certain suggested uses. Since efficacy must be established beyond reasonable doubt under the 1962 law, the result of these findings will be to sweep scores of familiar products from druggists' shelves. Hundreds of others will have to be relabeled, with fewer, less provocative and appealing claims...
