...campaign seemed an ill-concocted brew of partisan bile. Much of it was politics-as-usual, but the last spurt of violence and anger -coupled with Nixon's bellicose rejoinder-took it sharply beyond the ordinary. Anti-Administration members of Congress who survive the elections may return to Capitol Hill less inclined than ever to give Nixon an even break, especially as 1972 approaches. Quite possibly the broader political irritations will subside, as they traditionally do after a campaign. But for the present, the 1970 electoral battling left the land still more riven than it was before the skirmishing...
...scared not to read Women's Wear. We are influenced by it?everybody in fashion is." So are some 10,000 other readers outside the industry, who are fascinated by WWD's piquant brew of gossip, profiles, trendy tips and incisive reviews. Eleanor Lambert, fashion's foremost publicist, is no particular fan of Women's Wear, and vice versa. Still, she feels that the paper "has the same impact as Walter Winchell once did.

After 67 days in a brew called TGY -made up of an enzyme, a sugar and a yeast extract-the soil showed no signs of life, so Taylor added the three bacteria to the mix to see if lunar soil affected their growth rate. In mixtures containing surface samples from both Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 and core samples from 12, the single-celled plants continued...
Amply basted, you are sent to bake in the Herbal Wrap Room, a darkened chamber with a flickering brick fireplace. As you climb onto a bed, you are rolled like a tortilla into sheets soaked in a steaming brew of "21 exotic Oriental herbs." When done to a spicy turn, you plop into a hydrother-apeutic bath frothing with sesquicar-bonates, lithium chloride, magnesium sulfate, hexachlorophene-everything, presumably, but cyclamates. BELLY BUDGETING. More appetizing recipes are offered in the spa's dietetic dining room. There guests bend over their menus like accountants, busily subtracting a prune whip (40 calories...
