Nearly every major U.S. food company has taken a bite. Since 1958, Campbell Soup has laid out about $50 million to start operations in Britain, Italy, Belgium, France, Mexico and Australia. Beatrice Foods, strictly domestic only three years ago, now has plants, joint ventures and franchise agreements to turn out dairy products, candies and snacks in 17 countries. Corn Products has built up an extensive world empire of 63 plants in 27 countries; Borden has 30 overseas plants, General Foods 23, Kellogg 19 and General Mills five. H. J. Heinz, General Foods and Kellogg have all opened plants in Japan...
...more. But fluorides may be even more valuable than that. At the annual session of the American Dental Association in San Francisco last week, Dr. Thomas K. Barber, associate head of Pedodontics at the University of Illinois College of Dentistry, reported that fluoridated drinking water can help eradicate bad bite-an affliction that affects more than half the 50 million children...
...Barber's statistics came from a study conducted in Evanston, Ill., after ten years of fluoridating its water. Among Evanston children in the 6-to-8 age bracket, said Dr. Barber, malocclusions were down 20%, while those in the 12-to-14 group had 17% fewer bad bites than teen-agers in nonfluoridated communities. Fluorides, explained Dr. Barber, reduce tooth decay in the important first permanent molars; early loss of these teeth may lead to bite abnormalities and eventual braces or similar tooth-straightening appliances...
...plot, which has all the bite of the blueprint in a model car kit, tells how a car-crazy boy (Darren) and a boy-crazy girl (Tiffin) find happiness at the end of an auto endurance race through Death Valley. As the dragster's inamorata, Pamela learns that falling in love with an "intuitive genius" can be an endurance test in itself. Darren spends so much time pondering gear ratios and reassembling fuel lines that he can scarcely stay awake long enough to endanger a girl's reputation. Of course, he regains consciousness moments before the Big Race...
...sports a gold-lamé dinner jacket. Yorkshire-born Hockney's first one-man show in Manhattan was a sellout when it opened last week. His painting, a poetic blend of childish innocence and sophisticated whimsicality, is often dominated by an edgy displacement of figures in space. His bite is sharp in 16 etchings for The Rake's Progress, a series on his adventures in Manhattan, inspired by Hogarth's classic. California Art Collector, explains Hockney, combines quaintness and caricature. Asked about the tiny efflorescence of white behind a support at the right of the work, Hockney...
