...comes British Naval Historian Christopher Lloyd to testify in the captain's defense. Bligh, he said on the 150th anniversary of the captain's death, possessed "resolution, courage, professional skill and a high standard of moral rectitude." Not only did Bligh pull off quite a feat by rescuing himself; he also went on to a brilliant naval career that won him a battle commendation from Admiral Lord Nelson. To be sure, admitted Lloyd, the good Bligh had trouble "understanding the feelings of other people," but that merely reflected "an unfortunate personality," which is probably what Fletcher Christian meant...

Open lesbianism was standard. "It was unbelievable," says Mrs. Macdonald. "Women would take off their clothes, climb on top of tables and indulge in perversions.

Hyperacidity and peptic ulcer may lead to an excess production of carbon dioxide, and hence to flatulence, through the interaction of gastric acid on bicarbonates from the digestive juices. Standard ulcer medicines -antacids in liquid or tablet form-and diet should relieve this type of gaseousness...
...tests were urged on the FTC by Washington Democrat Warren G. Magnuson, the Senate's chief anti-smoking warrior. The commission, which had called a halt to the tobacco industry's health-prompted "tar derby" back in 1960 on grounds that no standard testing methods existed, reversed itself last year at Magnuson's behest. With the new rankings, which will be revised periodically, Magnuson hopes that now "the American smoker will choose his poison" and force the industry into another derby...
