...Reporters chased the Morris car 181 miles to London Airport, where Fuchs was hustled through customs and escorted by Scotland Yard men to a Convair of the Polish Airlines. Wearing a crumpled brown suit, a shirt too large at the neck, with a row of fountain pens in his breast pocket and carrying a canvas bag still stamped with his prison number, 3492, Fuchs handed the stewardess a oneway ticket to East Berlin...
...history. A turn-of-the-century fashion in ample bosoms produced "Bust-O-Fill"; the current bosom-conscious fad has resulted in "Kurv-On," "La Contour" and "Charm-On," which, says the Food and Drug Administration, "have about the same effect on the development or structure of the female breast as Smith Brothers cough drops." The "magic detector" of Dr. Albert Abrams, a roaring success in the '20s, popped up again last year in San Francisco. The detector enabled Dr. Abrams to "tune in on the electric vibration coming from a drop of blood and tell exactly what disease...
...Bare-Breasted Boldness. With Bell's approval, Editor Grosvenor drew a bead on the world's armchair explorers. In the name of geography he exposed the female breast, printed a 1903 study of two tawny Tagbanua belles eclipsed only to the waist by a stand of Philippine rice. Such displays became Geographic fixtures. He expanded geographical boundaries to embrace first-person travelogues from Tahiti, Siberia and the Yukon, kite construction (they were Bell's kites), the sex life of the aborigines, and skin tattoos. In 1905 he came up to a deadline with an eleven-page hole...
...secreted by the pituitary gland, which stimulates growth. Overproduction in childhood makes a giant. In the adult it can cause acromegaly (a localized form of gigantism, with enlargement of the jaw and extremities), can also aggravate diabetes and may speed the spread of cancer originating in the breast. Hitherto, the only way to halt the effects of growth hormone was to destroy the pituitary by radiation or surgery (TIME, May 16, 1955). But Drs. Martin Sonenberg and William Money described a new gimmick that has worked in animals: they treat growth hormone (from cattle) with acetic anhydride, inject the resulting...
...impressive--though more influenced by Robert Osborn than his dialogue and narration are by anybody I can think of. A picture of Passionella in her swimming pool, with a vast expanse of bosom floating before her, says more than a thousand "Will you mammary me" jokes about America's breast-fixation. Mr. Feiffer uses a flexible combination of text and pictures thoroughly intermixed; nobody's else is quite like it, and no quotations simply of words will get across its effect. Even people not in the in-group, even (God save the mark) people who approve of H-bomb tests...
