...time for antismoking messages. To his amazement, the Federal Communications Commission responded to his "citizen's complaint," an action later upheld in the courts. The victory prompted Banzhaf to quit his New York law firm and devote his time to ASH, which he had earlier organized as a nonprofit foundation. He moved to Washington, and LASH (Legislative Action on Smoking and Health), an antismoking lobby, was started soon after...
Suicide Attempts. Miracle or no, Neurotics Anonymous, a nonprofit self-help program for the emotionally disturbed, can justly claim a modest success. It was founded six years ago by Grover Boydston, a Florida psychologist who, like all members, is generally known by first name only. N.A. now has 5,000 members in 250 chapters from Hollywood to Haifa. As with nearly everything else about N.A., the figures must be taken on faith. Noses are casually counted, and any member can open a new chapter of the group any time he cares...
...tape) of hitherto commercially unreleased material-a complete catalogue of broadcasts by the Maestro between 1933 and 1954. It also includes about 50 concerts that were never broadcast, but which were recorded surreptitiously by engineers supposedly testing their equipment.

But classical-LP profits are so low these days, and piracy by fly-by-night firms so prevalent within the industry (an estimated $100 million in tape sales for 1969 alone), that even a benevolent...
...Court. The judge soon became a conservationist. After a hunting trip to Africa, he started a foundation to train Africans in wildlife management, became so engrossed in environmental issues that in 1965 he resigned his judgeship and started a second career as president of the nonprofit Conservation Foundation. During the 1968 presidential campaign he headed Candidate Nixon's Task Force on the Environment. Last January, Train's appointment as No. 2 man at Interior was hailed by conservationists, who then feared (but no longer) that Secretary Walter J. Hickel was unsympathetic to their cause. Now Train, whom Hickel...
