...deficits and ever multiplying regulations are also fundamental causes of the price spiral. Says Pfizer's Pratt: "We have told the President, as most companies have, that we will abide by the guidelines. But what the Government itself is doing is a big part of the problem." In short, the nation would benefit tremendously if Washington were to adopt and obey some price guidelines...
...with the oneupmanship in skiing ability and ski attire often prevalent at downhill resorts. "The guy who skis downhill is in a controlled atmosphere," notes Bob Wilcox of Eastern Mountain Sports Inc. in Boston. "He's onstage, he spends money on clothes, he's into a relatively short period of high energy. The cross-country skier is just the opposite. He's relaxed, he sets his own pace.

A less tangible disadvantage is that boat people lose their old landlubber friends. Also, banks and stores sometimes look on a local Sinbad...
...York publisher. Then she was hit with disseminated lupus erythematosus, a severe disease that could be kept at bay only with drugs and a straitened, cautious existence. She went home and wrote as hard as her reduced energy would permit. Two novels and a volume of short stories created a critical stir. In 1964 she was readying a second book of stories for publication when the lupus flared up and killed...
