From Richmond last week came the report of Mr. Weddell's investigations. Sir Godfrey Kneller, court painter to England's King Charles II and signer of the Richmond portrait, did two pictures of Piotr Ivanovich Potemkin, Russian envoy to the Court of St. James's in 1681. Comparing Richmond's John Smith with both, Mr. Weddell found the subject identical. Vaguely London dealers murmured that Sir Godfrey's favorite engraver was named John Smith: maybe that was how Piotr Ivanovich Potemkin passed for Virginia's Smith...
This statement was promptly smeared by a member of the Doom household as an "invention," but Ken's Editor Arnold Gingrich insisted the "interview" was authentic. It first appeared in the September 30 issue of Voilà, a Paris weekly that specializes in nude pictures and pornographic reporting. Mr. Gingrich said he could not get permission to print the real name of Author "Burckhardt," who was reported by Ken's Paris agents to be "something of a dilettante who hobnobs with the royal bunch...

Dr. Pritchard went to work in seven counties near Battle Creek† First he persuaded these counties to establish health departments, with the Foundation footing most of the bills. He saw that youngsters got medical examinations and treatment (free, when necessary), that mothers had doctors to help deliver their babies, that sanitary engineers told people how to dispose of their sewage.

Such a program, according to Mr. Hazelett, would not result in overproduction, provided prices and wages were not fixed but were allowed to reach the highest possible levels "consistent with maximum production." He believes that putting all the nation's productive facilities to work would automatically create enough demand to consume the increased output. In short, he agrees with the famed Brookings Institution concept that real prosperity is a result of increasing production and lowering prices, and he suggests taxation as a method of putting the theory into effect...
