...Hewlett seemed to January to have the the winning hand -until last January. Then Chicago newspapers reported that he had been collecting $15,000 a year as "vice president" of Sun Steel Co., a post that, in some written statements, he implied that he no longer held. When he was accused of lobbying for legislation helpful to the steel-scrap industry, he denied the charge, but he resigned his post. On top of that, he divulged that in 1974 he declared as personal income-and paid taxes on-$100,000 in political contributions. He maintained that the money was used...

Wacker says the people he sees seem well-educated about birth control. But what he may be overlooking with a system as subtle at Harvard's birth control program is that his patients may be self-selecting. "The people in the UHS think that the students...
...medical tent, he sat at the orderly's typewriter and pecked out his most personal and moving poems, the great Pisan Cantos. With eyes unsealed by shock, Pound finally saw himself as he was seen-a vain "beaten dog beneath the hail/ A swollen magpie in a fitful sun." He was flown back to the States to face trial for treason, but the case never came to judgment. Declared hopelessly insane. Pound was committed to a federal bedlam in the District of Columbia...
