...this case, as in countless others last week, the patient was a dog-a two-year-old great Dane named Missy. Dr. McBride is no M.D. but a D.V.M. (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine). Dr. McBride's clinic, where Missy's operation took place, is a tasteful, red brick colonial building staffed by four veterinarians, a practical nurse, half a dozen kennel men, plus office help.

Pealing for all it's worth, tabloid Grit over the years has given a big play to pictures and success stories of persons grittily overcoming handicaps (sample subject: deaf children learning to talk), decorously avoided touchy topics from the Kinsey report to the Confidential trial. Such a dry-cleaned view of the news stems from Publisher Lamade's German-born father, Dietrick, who with two others bought the tiny, two-year-old paper in 1884 for $1,000, and until his death in 1938 exhorted his staff to "avoid showing the wrong side of things or making people...
IRAN, whose two-year-old development program looks ultimately to a wholly free economy. Abol Hassan Ebtehaj, director of Iran's Seven-Year Plan Organization, said that his country will spend $1.1 billion in oil revenues to build "basic 'facilities which will create the climate necessary to stimulate private enterprise. Our philosophy is to develop and operate industry only when private capital is unable or unwilling to do so." While emphasizing that foreign capital is essential to the.program, Ebtehaj said that the country's greatest present need is for consultants, industrial managers, technicians. "Our need...
