Preferred Brands. There seemed to be little call for the explosion in Newark, either. Nevertheless, after building up slowly, it spewed violence in all directions. After the first pop bottles and bricks were heaved, the looters moved in. Harry's Liquor Store, a fueling stop about a block from the precinct house where Cabby Smith was booked, became the first target. A brick smashed the unprotected display window; gallons of liquor poured out -into throats, not gutters. From other liquor stores, Negro looters formed human chains that reached clear around corners. They went first for the imported Scotch (Chivas...
Governor Hughes pretty much took over. Besides calling up the Guard, he closed all of Newark's liquor stores ("We'll dry this city out"), ordered all guns and ammunition confiscated from the stores that were selling them, imposed a curfew that advanced from midnight to 11 p.m., and finally to 10. He also worked long hours touring the riot area, and his task force arrested some 50 looters. Still the mob reveled in the curious exultation of the explosion.

State-operated liquor stores closed on Daylight, but bars grabbed an extra late hour of business by sticking to Standard Time. The twin cities of Calumet and Hancock could not agree and so divided...
...call for 98 tests, consuming 125 hours, at eleven steps in the manufacture, while Squibb's quality control requires 374 tests, taking 406 hours, at 35 stages. Squibb runs a three-hour test on one of the alcohols used in manufacturing, another of 16 hours on corn-steep liquor, and one of 22 hours on city water. The U.S.P. requires none of these. Moreover, Squibb offers its penicillin G in twelve different strengths, dosages and combinations, some of which make no money, while most manufacturers of generic penicillin G make only the one or two most widely prescribed formulations...
