...most controversial projects is the swing-wing F-l l l aircraft, which he promoted as an Air Force-Navy plane that would save $1 billion or more through "commonality." The Air Force model is turning out well enough, but the Navy is still dissatisfied with its overweight version, and the cost is far above original estimates. The computer approach occasionally cut too close to the bone, as when Army requests for helicopters in 1963 and 1964 were reduced, only to cause shortages in Viet Nam soon after...
Since 1930, Dr. Page has concentrated his research on the causes and treatment of high blood pressure; his own reading of 128/78 early in 1967 gave him no warning. Far from being overweight, Dr. Page was a model of slimness, at 146 lbs. on a 5-ft. 10½-in. frame. He had never gorged himself on marbled steaks and pie à la mode, and since 1959 had spartanized his diet to approximately that used in his own DietHeart Study. Dr. Page was a moderate social drinker.

Even on Broadway, Camelot never quite succeeded in capturing the wonderful, free imagination of White's original.

Boston has long had the reputation as an undisciplined, live-it-up team, and has been a graveyard for managers. When Williams came onto the scene, he laid down the law: no overweight players, no sore-armed pitchers, no lazy self-centered attitudes. He showed he meant business by benching his good players when they started to lapse back into their old habits...
Several different types of drugs are prescribed for the overweight, and if they do little good, they usually do little harm because most reducers take only one kind. But from Oregon last week came a report that at least six and possibly eight women have died, apparently as the result of taking five potent drugs put up, along with a laxative, in a six-pill "rainbow package." Three physicians had dispensed the combination packages, said Dr. Russell Henry, Oregon state medical examiner...
