Opponents of fluoridation also conducted a vast mail campaign. According to Mrs. Wyner, one of the pamphlets sent to Brookline citizens read, "Will your child be the one in six to have mottled teeth?" Others contained out-of-context quotes of various doctors...
...Where Is My Son?" The pay was good. Shamburger, as a pilot, got about $2,100 a month; the others received $1,900.

California's Republican Senator Thomas Kuchel has received five letters favoring President Kennedy's tax program out of 2,000 letters about it. Minnesota's Democratic Senator Hubert H.
