Cleveland-based Sherwin-Williams Co., the sole U.S. producer of saccharin, at first considered closing its saccharin plant in Cincinnati after the ban was declared. Last week it decided to keep the plant open to meet demand. Currently, the plant is operating day and night to fill a sudden accumulation of orders-enough, says Plant Manager Kenneth H. Wilkinson, "to go another 30 days...
...concern was touched off last week by a Food and Drug Administration announcement that it was taking first steps toward halting sales of saccharin, the only noncaloric artificial sweetener approved for use in foods and beverages in the U.S. since the banning of cyclamates in 1970. Acting FDA Commissioner Sherwin Gardner emphasized that he saw no immediate hazard to public health from the chemical. Thus his agency will not immediately stop the manufacture of products containing saccharin (which account for at least $2 billion annually in sales) or recall those already on the shelves. But, Gardner insisted, "science...
...public in questioning the validity of those tests. "The FDA has overreacted," snapped a spokesman for the Calorie Control Council, an Atlanta-based trade group. "The physiology of a rat or mouse isn't the same as that of a human," protested William Inman, vice president of Sherwin-Williams Co. of Cleveland, the sole U.S. producer of saccharin, whose output accounts for 65% of the 8 million lbs. consumed yearly by Americans. Researchers pointed to the enormous quantities of saccharin fed the test rats-equivalent to consumption by a human of some 800 cans of diet soda each...
...there is a new version that is really worth seeing and hearing. Surprisingly, at least to those unattuned to the activities of General Director David Gockley, it comes from the Houston Grand Opera, where the show last week completed an eight-day run. With former American Ballet Theater President Sherwin Goldman joining in as coproducer, Porgy this week begins a six-week engagement at Philadelphia's Academy of Music, and after that it will move to the Wolf Trap center outside Washington, D.C., then to Toronto and Ottawa. If enough people like it during the tour, Porgy will come...
...Sherwin tells his story soberly, punctuating it with occasional historical curiosities. We learn, for example, that "to this day ... the U.S. government has never officially acknowledged that Americans [two captured Navy flyers] were killed at Hiroshima." Determined to avoid any tendentiousness, Sherwin is sometimes too cautious in presenting his insights, which are numerous but tucked away. The modesty is misplaced. Jona than Swift once observed, "the greatest inventions were produced in times of ignorance, as the use of the compass, gun powder, printing." To that list of dark times must be added the 1940s; to the list of new devices...
