Gerber, as well as its competitors, is also eying the potentially rich geriatrics market, which now accounts for about 8% of sales. Old folks like easily digested baby foods. But they are embarrassed to buy them, usually shove the cans or jars along supermarket counters with the explanation that grandchildren are coming to visit. The baby-food firms understandably have been reluctant to try the hard sell in the delicate old folks' market. But it would be no great surprise if, one of these days, oldsters were to start getting letters from Mrs. Dan Gerber, grandmother...
...strong stint will shove any of these three to the fore of Shepard's thinking, especially after the poor showings Saturday at Penn by Jim McCandlish and John Scott, the mainstays of last year's Crimson staff...
...tide has turned, and is now running strongly in our favor. One more shove and we can get Britain back on course." It was a brave boast, but as Britons prepared to go to the polls for this week's general election, Tory Leader Ted Heath clearly needed to pull out all the stops.

Cracked the preacher, who had hustled in from a civil rights walking tour of the city for the game: "I'm just shooting my best stick." No masse demonstrations, please...
...orbital mechanics-the physical laws that govern the motion of orbiting bodies. Those laws state that an orbital path is determined by a delicate balance between gravity, which tries to pull a satellite down, and centrifugal force, which is proportional to the satellite's speed and tends to shove it farther away from the earth. A satellite orbiting close to earth, where the pull of gravity is strong, needs a high velocity to keep itself aloft. At higher altitudes, where the strength of gravity has decreased, a lower velocity will maintain an orbit. In last week's rendezvous...
