...Philippines and Thailand, Malaysia and Korea as a Western leader in quest of a solution to the war in Viet Nam. In Viet Nam itself, he went as Commander in Chief to thank his troops for serving "in the front line of a contest as far-reaching and as vital as any we have ever waged." But he also went to Asia as an American politician whose party is embroiled in a major campaign, knowing well that the voters' decisions next week will be examined as closely by Ho Chi Minh, looking for indications of U.S. irresolution about...
Chromium Decline. Another of the 20 elements studied was chromium. All over the world, people are born with relatively generous amounts of chromium in their vital organs, but in the U.S. the levels decline precipitously around age ten.

With animals kept at what Dr. Schroeder considers a normal chromium level, there was virtually no diabetes or atherosclerosis. "Specialists...

The Confederation of British Industry expects an even worse fall-15% to 25% during the next twelve months...
...balance, it looks like a close game, and certainly a vital one for Harvard on the path to the League crown. Princeton is a three-point underdog, but the Tigers feel that they are a different team than the one that lost to Dartmouth and Colgate, and almost to Columbia, early in the season. But the Crimson smarts from losing to Princeton for two years running, and will be fiercely protective of that big, fat 6-0 record...
