...aspirin must be packaged with not more than 36 tablets to a bottle, each tablet of not more than 1¼-grain strength, or one-fourth the potency of the conventional tablet for adults. The FDA's Dr. Basil G. Delta figures that one grain of aspirin per pound of body weight is the danger threshold. So, if a five-year-old weighing the average 45 Ibs. for his age gobbled a whole 45-grain bottle of the future children's aspirin, he would be sick, but would almost certainly recover. For a smaller child the results could...
...death. Now U.S. industry and Government scientists have developed an inexpensive food supplement rich in protein. It is a "flour" made by grinding up whole fish, and Interior Secretary Stewart Udall reports that it can restore balance to the diet at a daily cost of only half a cent per person. U.S. fisheries alone, he adds, can produce enough of the raw material to meet the needs of 300 million people...

In processing, though the whole fish is used, some bone is removed to keep the fluoride content below 100 parts per-million. The final flour of "FPC" parts (fish protein concentrate) must contain 75% protein and practically...
High-speed aircraft and jet engines just cannot cope with birds. In the U.S., the annual total of aircraft-bird collisions now exceeds 1,600, some of them resulting in injuries and even fatal crashes. The Air Force alone estimates that it spends about $5,000,000 per year to repair aircraft surfaces battered or even pierced by the high-velocity impact of large fowl; it costs another $4,000,000 to $5,000,000 to repair or replace jet engines that have been damaged by ingested birds. But scientific help is on the way for aircraft-as well...
...stop Ling-even after he realized the extent of the Texan's designs on his company. In a matter of days, before Haynie could summon his board of directors, Ling-Temco-Vought had corralled a sizable chunk of Wilson's stock by offering holders $62.50 per share, 25% over the Dec. 20 New York Stock Exchange closing. By Jan. 5, L-T-V held 53%, thus making Wilson a member of the family...
