...Tate & Lyle, were helped by a champion as ubiquitous and eloquent as Colonel Blimp ("Gad, sir, the Americans should be forced to pay us the money we owe them!") or long-nosed, war-born Mr. Chad ("Wot, no bacon & eggs?"). The free-enterprise champion was Mr. Cube, a personable lump of sugar invented by a 30-year-old ex-newspaperman and psychological warfare expert named Roy Hudson.

With the system working well now, and expected to do better, there is little reason to elect...
Recent publicity about cancer, the two doctors declare, "seems to focus on a lump in the breast." Five years ago Saltzstein and Pollack got only the more serious cases, so that they performed as many operations for cancer as for "benign" (nonmalignant) tumors. Nowadays, women with less serious ailments rush in for consultation, and the doctors are performing twice as many operations for benign tumors as for cancer. And almost half the women who rush in, the doctors find, need no surgery...
