...Society has claimed that Dr. Frederick J. Stare, professor of Nutrition, made libelous statements in the March, 1959, issue of McCall's magazine. In that issue, Stare attacked some of the charges made in one of five "open letters" the Society had written to President Pusey about standards of nutritional research at the University...
Died. General Randolph McCall Pate, 63, softspoken, hard-driving logistics expert who commanded the Marine Corps from 1956 to 1960; of cancer; in Bethesda, Md. A World War I Army private who entered the Marines from Virginia Military Institute in 1921, Pate directed supply operations at Guadalcanal, did staff work on the Iwo Jima and Okinawa invasions, and assumed his only combat command-the 1st Marine Division-in the last months of the Korean...

But ad revenue is not the whole story. Paper, printing and mailing costs are up. Thus high circulation can be too much of a good thing, when ad revenue fails to keep pace. "Advertising rates are not high enough," admits McCall's Publisher A. Edward Miller, but he hopes for a burst of additional ads to close the gap. Even if he gets...
