...gastric tolerance is concerned, no published report to date approaches, in our opinion, the caliber of our recent Michigan study. There, tablets of Bufferin, the four leading commercial brands of aspirin, and an inert placebo were administered on different occasions to each of 146 human subjects who presented a history of previous stomach upset from each of the four brands of aspirin. Less than 7% of the subjects reacted to Bufferin. That suggestibility played no role whatever in these studies is evident in that only one of the 146 subjects noted stomach upset from the inert placebo...
...many another speaker at G.O.P. gatherings across the country last week joined Dick Nixon in a Republican counterattack against the Democratic drive to wring political prosperity out of economic recession (TIME, Feb. 17). All week long the Democrats kept up their offensive. The governors of Colorado, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island and Washington-Democrats all-dispatched a joint telegram to President Eisenhower urging a "practical program" (i.e., plenty of federal funds) to combat "the growing national recession." On Capitol Hill, Majority Leader Lyndon Baines Johnson outlined a ten-point antirecession program that Senate...
...While Michigan's bow-tied Governor G. (for Gerhard) Mennen Williams flitted around the U.S. adding polish to his presidential sheen, the man who minded the store for him over the last three years was polished, personable Lieutenant Governor Philip A.

Summoning newsmen to his Lansing office, Hart announced that he would be the Williams-backed Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate seat held by Republican Charles E. Potter...
...people of this country are in serious economic trouble," cried Michigan's Pat McNamara. With Massachusetts' John Kennedy, McNamara co-sponsored a bill to fatten state unemployment benefits and make them run for 39 weeks instead of the now-usual 26. Tennessee's Albert Gore introduced a bill to boost federal aid to state and local governments for public-works projects. In keeping with a grand design sketched out by Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson-who was working on the economy when not busy with space-Senate Democrats were drafting six other recession-inspired bills, calling for increased...
...evening other favorites had failed to oblige. Western Michigan's stocky little Sprinter Ira Murchison lurched off the starting blocks and was shut out of the finals of the 60-yd. dash before he found his balance. Duke's Dave Sime also finished out of the money, and the race went to a long shot, Army Lieut. Ken Kave. There was a second of excitement when spectators spotted a red-shirted stranger sailing over the pole-vault bar set at 15 ft. But before they could look up his name-Melvin Schwarz of the Baltimore Olympic Club...
