Meanwhile, the company plans to keep up a marketing push that, for all of Mercedes' staid image, has become truly muscular. Deciding that his company ought to do better in the "world's toughest market," Mercedes' Zahn ended a U.S. marketing deal with now-defunct Studebaker-Packard in 1965, built up an independent network of 260 dealers. By carefully watching car-buying tastes in the U.S.-where 85% want automatic transmission (v. only 40% in Germany) and 65% ask for air conditioning (v. less than 1%), Mercedes has increased its American sales by 25% this year...
Enzyme Heip. About 50% of all gas victims suffer from either excessive or inadequate motility in the bowel. Lessened muscular activity is more likely to occur in elderly patients, whose food passes normally as far as the end of the small bowel, but then slows down in the flabby large bowel. The remedy in most of these cases, said Dr. Danhof, is bethanechol chloride, sold as Myocholine and Urecholine, to improve the bowel's muscle tone. In the overactive bowel, commonly associated with nervous conditions, frothing or foaming may occur. A useful remedy: dimethylpolysiloxane with pepsin (trade name: Phazyme...
...best performer on the team, however, is undoubtedly a junior--short, muscular Danny Naylor (130-137), who last year parlayed a lightning-like lateral drop into a one-loss season (the loss was against Franklin & Marshall, a team the Crimson begins its dual-meet season with next Saturday here.) Naylor got key victories over particularly tough opponents in both the Cornell and Princeton meets last year, and should only be better. He pins, and pins often, an increasing rarity in college wrestling...
Metal leg braces are all too familiar to the victims of such disorders as muscular dystrophy or polio. The double-bar braces are heavy and clumsy, with a stirrup under the instep, and they induce muscle atrophy by permitting the foot to move only up and down. In normal walking, the body's weight tends to throw the heel of each foot alternately either outward or inward, depending on the terrain, but such movement is prevented by the conventional brace...
...Hoffer, 65, comes on with a muscular humanism that hymns ordinary people and the land that enthroned them. "The only new thing in history," he says, "is America. It's blasphemous to say that, you know, but it's true." And what is America's contribution? "The deproletarianization of the working man. He ceases to be a proletarian. He thinks he's as good as everybody else." Hoffer knows he is. "You can almost close your eyes," he says, "reach over the sidewalk and make a man President, and he'll turn...
