ADAM & EVE. There are those who think the whole letter scramble-like so much else in Brazil-is SNAFU. Except for ADAM and EVE (Amazonas Association of Dentists; Army Veterinary School), few combinations are pronounceable. Besides, Brazilians are running out of initials; MG stands for the states of Minas Gerais and Mato Grosso as well as the Ministry of War. Coming to the rescue of its readers, Rio's morning JB (Jornal do Brasil) recently published an article entitled "Introduction to the Small Dictionary of Initials (Without Which It Is Somewhat Difficult to Read a Newspaper in Brazil...
...assembly lines and cut prices to a point where his loss per car was $240. But sales zoomed from 1,500 a year to 65,000, and the losses were wiped out. Nuffieid (he got his viscountcy in 1938) later broadened his line with the sleeker Riley and sporty MG, eventually reached a yearly capacity of 150,000. Finally, in 1952, Morris and rival Austin merged to form British Motors Corp., now the world's eighth largest auto company.

...after a more serious attack or a succession of attacks. After five years on Premarin, the corresponding death rates were 7% and 27%. But dosage is critical. Dr. Stamler warned against giving Premarin within three months after a heart attack, advocated building up in stages after that from 1.25 mg. to 5 mg. a day. Los Angeles' Dr. Jessie Marmorston reported that she got good results (TIME, June 15, 1959) without ever going over 1.25 mg., and that on this small dose her patients are not noticeably feminized. But Dr. Stamler insisted that bigger doses are necessary, and some...
...Palais des Expositions, glittering new MG, Alfa Romeo and Mercedes models had been assembled for the city's annual automobile exhibition. There was only mild competition from the diplomats meeting in that hall of doom, the League of Nations' old Palais, for last week's 17-nation disarmament conference. The West at least went out of its way to offer new accessories, but the Russian delegates had scarcely bothered to touch up their old, familiar model...
