...Johnson last week signed a bill that expands the SEC's powers over disclosure. The SEC is concerned about the rapid increase in the number of cash tender offers being made to shareholders. There were 100 such acquisition offers in 1966 v. only eight in 1960. To make sure that they are legitimately and fairly made, the new law provides that anyone who wants to buy 10% or more of a company's stock must immediately identify himself and give a complete accounting of his negotiations and intentions. "Everybody is so scared of the SEC," observes one broker...
...that man is in a dismal rut. Modern existence, precarious, chaotic and murderous as it is, is a vast improvement over the ignorance, superstition, violence and disease of earlier periods. They ask: Are we ready to scuttle the technology that has spread food, home ownership, comfort, education and lei sure beyond any precedent? Would we rather have lived under the laws of the Athenian Republic or the Roman Empire than under constitutions that give us habeas corpus, trial by jury, religious and intellectual freedom and the emancipation of women...

Well, it's not quite the boss himself, folks. It's his cousin. To play the President, Central Casting tapped J. B. Peck, 66, retired sheriff of Garland, Texas, and L.B.J...
Less Suppression. Denver, where the first such operation was performed in March 1963 by the University of Colorado's Dr. Thomas E. Starzl, remains the liver-transplant capital of the world, with six recipients surviving. The early operations five years ago, says Starzl, were tragic. Although surgeons were sure that the procedure would work, the longest survival among the first patients was 23 days. In most cases, death resulted from infection, to which the patients were especially susceptible because of generous use of drugs to suppress the mechanism by which the body rejects foreign protein...
