...evidence seems to dispute this. Last August the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. put on a radio show in which nine audio specialists were asked to identify parts of a tape that had been doctored. They were unable to detect 90% of the edits-but reported finding numerous nonexistent changes. Producer Max Allen explained: "In a speech by Roy Cohn [Joe McCarthy's onetime protégé], they said they had looked at their oscilloscopes and swore they saw edits. But it was just Cohn's pattern of speech, which sounded naturally as if it had been edited...

Max Roach, Archie Shepp, Sonia Sanchez, Olatunji, Webster Lewis, Jaki Beyard, the Black Youth Ensemblle and the Universal Dance Company are combining their talents Friday night at Tufts for an evening that should be heavy on jazz, soul and spirit.

Among the designer's first tasks will be creation of a new fragrance for Simon's Max Factor subsidiary.

The newly created Halston Enterprises Inc. will continue to produce a ready-to-wear line that, because of Simon's vast merchandising resources, will now have a much wider distribution...
...York City, Max Toth, president of the Toth Pyramid Co., claims that his cardboard Pyramid Razor Blade Sharpener (price: $3.50) will more than pay for itself by producing blades that never dull. Evering Associates, which markets Toth's products in Canada, says they can be used to dehydrate tropical fish for display purposes. Small stuff, perhaps, but Inventor Patrick Flanagan, who sells his own pyramid line in Glendale, Calif., reports that the device has improved his sexual sensitivity...
