In a rash moment, the FCC also authorized house-to-automobile communi cations on a noncommercial, or "Honey, bring home a loaf of bread'' basis...
...left leg was already two inches shorter than her right. He learned that when she was three, her mother had given her almost three teaspoonfuls of vitamin-A preparation every day-about 50 times as much as the three drops her doctor had prescribed to treat a mild rash. The overdosage could be measured in the girl's blood, which showed a vitamin-A level of 943 units, compared with a normal range of 30 to 60 units. To stimulate the growth of the girl's left leg. Dr. Pease put ivory implants in the bones...
