Moynihan's Celtic exuberance often gets him into trouble. To be flamboyantly candid is not the safest form of political behavior. Last fall, when it became apparent that federal spending on domestic programs would not markedly increase after the Viet Nam War, he could not resist telling reporters that the peace dividend would be as "evanescent as the morning mists over San Clemente." White House economists had to reassure the nation that the potential dividend was not all that evanescent. He is also an inept administrator. Partly to make White House operations more orderly, partly to relieve Moynihan...
...possibility, on which the National Institute of Dental Research is working, is the development of an antibiotic that would selectively keep down the bacteria known to be a major factor in the beginning of decay. Such a discovery may be years away. Meanwhile, water fluoridation remains the most effective, safest and cheapest shield against cavities. At 10$ psr person a year, it would cost $13 million to fluoridate all remaining public water supplies, the institute estimates. And that would save $700 million a year in dentists' fees for fillings, aside from millions of toothaches...

Devoted to art and architecture and free of all but a few light industries, the city came to be known as "the safest air-raid shelter in the Reich." On Feb. 13, 1945, Dresden's virtual immunity ended in one of the worst holocausts of World...
...extra cost of pollution-control devices on the car. By contrast, unleaded gasoline at lower octane ratings can be produced with relatively little changeover or cost by the oil companies, and with no price penalty. With all this taken into consideration many experts feel that the most economic and safest solution is to lower the compression and horsepower of the cars...
Common sense suggests that the safest way to induce an abortion is to use the hormone oxytocin, which nature produces when it is time for a fetus to leave the womb. But nature does not always abide by man's logic. Oxytocin in large doses can induce an abortion, but not until the 20th week of pregnancy. And most unwanted pregnancies should be ended no later than the 16th week. Until now this has required surgical intervention-scraping out the contents of the womb, which involves some risk of bleeding and infectious complications even in a well-run hospital...
