...himself. From Washington sped Earl's nephew, U.S. Senator Russell Long. Trying to save the tottering Long regime, Russell Long went before the legislature in Baton Rouge to explain his uncle's illness. Heartbroken, Earl Long's wife tried to get her husband to rest quietly. Turning on her, he accused her and Russell Long of conspiring with his enemies. He became violent, had to be locked in his room. There was talk that he threw empty bottles through his window that night, and broke his bedstead. Finally, at week's end, he permitted a doctor...

The reason: manufacturers with more capacity than orders take on a job of putting out a big-volume private label without allocating their production costs realistically...
...tough has the competition from private labels become that some national-brand makers turn out both, in the hope of lowering overall production costs and gaining a more favorable reception for the manufacturer's name-brand products. In many cases the quality is exactly the same, but the price is lower. B. T. Babbitt, cleaning-products maker, markets its Glim liquid detergent to some distributors to retail for 69? per 22-oz. bottle.
