...clinical tests have consistently shown that addition to aspirin of the particular antacid mixture (i.e., Di-Alminate) used in Bufferin invariably doubles the rate of absorption of aspirin into the blood stream during at least the first thirty minutes after administration...
...readers of the College papers are told every week that Harvard College is not a university: some writers say that she is fast becoming one; others, that, at her present rate of progress, she will never reach the standard signified by that mystifying word.

...committees call between the hours of four and six in the afternoon at first, then between seven-thirty in the evening and midnight. On the basis of a few minutes of stereotyped small talk the committees rate the eligibles, and the clubs immediately begin cutting their lists, most "from the top" as well as "from the bottom."

So far, the businessman's safety record is good, with only i.i fatal accidents per 100,000 aircraft hours v. a rate of .73 per 100,000 for scheduled airlines. Yet, as more and more planes go aloft in all weather, it may get to the point where the nation's airspace must be sectored off like superhighways, one lane for private flyers, another for airlines, and everything run under strict instrument...
