...champions? Do sports heroes owe their success to a lifetime diet of the cereal? Or is it merely that the folks at General Mills pay the stars to eat their flaky product for the cameras? Those weighty questions were faced squarely last week by Olympic Decathlon Medalist Bruce Tenner, who does commercials for the cereal and whose picture appears on the box. San Francisco District Attorney Joseph Freitas slapped General Mills with a truth-in-advertising suit, charging that Tenner's Wheaties ads falsely imply a causal connection between his taste in breakfast food and his athletic prowess...

"That, coupled with what appears to us to be misleading ads which encourage kids to believe that a product will somehow make them champion athletes, led us to take action."

Nixon has appointed a total of 135 people to the federal bench, and four of his nominations are pending in the Senate. The A.B.A., which rates each one before confirmation, found 72 "well qualified" or "extremely well qualified"; not a single nominee was ruled out as "not qualified." John Kennedy managed to nominate eight men whom the A.B.A. blackballed, and Lyndon Johnson four. Nixon has followed...
