Inside Only. Dr. Obwegeser's research in "the geography of the mouth" and his resulting new methods are not for the average youngster suffering from a "bad bite." He will still need conventional orthodontics and have to wear braces. Jawbone surgery is mainly for people who have stopped growing...
Most U.S. oral surgeons have operated from outside the mouth, through the neck, usually cutting through the jaw bone to shorten or lengthen jaws. The procedure is likely to leave a scar and carries the risk of damaging a nerve, thus causing facial paralysis, and it does not permit the free repositioning of parts of the jaw.

With a reluctant blessing from censors, all the blunt four, five-and six-letter profanities that helped make Edward Albee's Broadway play a sizzling hit have been brought to the screen intact. But nasty language can be had for free on any street corner. A moviegoer who lays out his money to see Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton in a blue comedy will get a shock of another color.
