...Louis Dublin's report [July 22] is another step proving the value of the recommended amount of fluoride content in the drinking water as a safe, effective health measure to reduce tooth decay. Educating the masses to the benefits and acceptance of health measures is a tedious task for professional groups and public health workers.

...iron, shifting across noisy pavements before the exhaust-spewing lines of cars and trucks, they battle to save themselves from anonymity and the apathy of their elders. They form clubs or they run in gangs, and some learn to gamble with violence as quickly as they learn to step out of the path of cars.

When New Mexico's liberal Democrat Clinton Anderson expressed doubts about Part III, Johnson encouraged Anderson...
...thought, 'Well, here's another one, and if you win it, well, maybe you get another couple of fights, and if you don't, maybe you're through.' Five or six years ago this kid wouldn't have done this to me-step in with a couple of feints and jab me on the nose or mouth...
