...King of the Smellies, James Gall, 29, has sold or supplied the fragrance for a whopping 4 million shirts reeking with more than a hundred smells. Researchers at his company, Smell It Like It Is, Inc., have had the Gall to perfect such odors as cod-liver oil, dill pickles and lamb chops. But Gall may soon run into formidable competition. The New York-based Smell This Shirt Co. is working hard to develop marijuana-scented shirts...
Never have Americans had such a detailed tour of the insides of a President as they got last week. They went right down Gerald Ford's alimentary canal, took side excursions through his heart ("no cardiomegaly or precordial lift") and around his liver ("12 cm. in the mid-clavicular line"), paused to contemplate his football knees ("nonpainful patellofemoral crepitation with pressure motion") and prodded other parts that are much more delicate...

Cancer may also be linked with more elusive agents, including the level of radiation and the amount of sunlight in a given region. Some statistics are already available to support this thesis. Melanoma, a form of skin cancer, seems more prevalent in the sunny U.S. South, for example, than in the North. Man-made chemicals and pollutants in water, air and food...
