Despite that difficulty, Moser made a devastating indictment of almost every class of new drug. The cortisone-type hormones, familiar for their wide use, particularly in rheumatic disorders, have long since been convicted of causing or exacerbating peptic ulcers, of giving users a fattened "moon" face, and growing mustaches on women. Colonel Moser emphasized two severe unpleasant side effects that may go undetected. Given to victims of leukemia or Hodgkin's disease, he said, these hormones predispose the patients to fungus infections, and they leach the calcium out of the bones of the bedridden elderly...
...hours to cover all of 3½ miles. But as it moved from NASA's Vertical Assembly Building to launch pad 39-A at Cape Kennedy last week, the mammoth Saturn 5 rocket, an engineless version of the vehicle that will take the first U.S. astronauts to the moon, crawled through an impressive catalogue of superlatives. This was the largest rocket in the world, emerging from the largest building in the world, to travel on one of the largest self-propelled land vehicles in the world. And the colossal enterprise was completed without a hitch; it was final proof...
...warm and creamy as milk fresh out of the barn cow. Mostly, the songs were samplings of his biggest hits-Anytime, Bouquet of Roses-flavored with a touch of falsetto and yodel-like loops that carried that special stamp of the hill country. Trading on a broad, half-moon smile and an ultra-relaxed manner that could charm the warts off a hog's back, he drew a standing ovation and a stampede of well-wishers...
Ballplayers must be stronger, or the ball must be livelier, or the air must be thinner, because the way this season is going, a horse-or at least his hide-will get to the moon before a man. In one game last week, Braves Outfielder Hank Aaron, no heavyweight, twice flicked his wrists and twice sent liners whistling high over Atlanta Stadium's 400-ft.-deep leftfield wall. In Washington, awed witnesses reported that a drive hit by Senators Outfielder Frank Howard was still climbing when it caromed off the centerfield seats 480 ft. from home plate...
...faculty may be even more enthusiastic about Santa Cruz than the kids. Creating a new campus, says Director of Academic Planning Byron Stookey Jr., is "a little like finding yourself on the beach, alone, with a beautiful girl and a full moon on a warm night-there is great opportunity, but you must make the very most of the opportunity." In an ingenious device to keep the teaching and research duties of the faculty in balance, teachers draw half their pay from their college, half from campus-wide "boards of studies" that supervise their academic fields...
