...publicity seems to have made many Americans temporarily lose their taste for tuna. A careful shopper could check the lid for the telltale number in a grocery, but it seemed chancier to trust a restaurant or a drugstore counter with a tuna fish sandwich or salad. Food Fair's Howard Miller, the chief grocery buyer for the chain's New Jersey, New York and Connecticut stores, estimated that tuna sales were down 30%. Tuna sales fell in Chicago, Detroit and San Francisco. Van Camp Vice President F. E. Hagelberg saw "no question" but that the scare would eventually...

The teas, of course, are the cult's most festive rites. Here Mrs. Perkins is in her element; she can send faculty members scurrying to the kitchen for more hot water or tell the Mayor of New York that the tea is all gone without ever breaking stride.

Greenberg, the Law School student, sought treatment at the University Health Services for multiple cuts and bruises...
Possible applications of the ceramic sandwich seem practically endless. Westinghouse is already planning to build them into remotely controlled locks for car trunks or motor hoods. They show promise of great value as relays for operating switches at a distance. And in the not too remote future they may help an orbiting astronaut make his way around his zero-gravity spaceship. Weightless, the space traveler would float aimlessly. With ceramic sandwiches in the soles' of his shoes and small batteries in his pocket, he could walk up metal walls or cross a ceiling using only a pair of pushbuttons...
