...would exclude itself from this pioneering process-an odd role for a city that prides itself on being a pacesetter for the world. Thus, before Concorde service at J.F.K. is ruled detrimental to the commonweal, the big bird deserves at least a chance to demonstrate-in a carefully monitored test-that it is not quite the monster its critics contend...

"The FDA has overreacted," snapped a spokesman for the Calorie Control Council, an Atlanta-based trade group. "The physiology of a rat or mouse isn't the same as that of a human," protested William Inman, vice president of Sherwin-Williams Co. of Cleveland, the sole U.S. producer of saccharin, whose output accounts for 65% of the 8 million lbs. consumed yearly by Americans.
