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...

Flynt abruptly phoned her from...
Then I came to Harvard as a student myself, and learned the truth. The bulletin boards were overpopulated, that was certain, but the events they advertised didn't exactly turn people away for lack of room. The people hurrying through the streets were running to get to class on time, or maybe to get to the Coop before it closed to buy typing paper. The people in the cafes were reading reserve books from Lamont...
