...keep teeth from decaying, the American Dental Association declared. Its annual convention (in Cleveland) berated dentifrice advertisers for false claims, also took a swipe at soft-drink peddlers for pretending that their concoctions don't harm teeth. The association's rules for dental health: use less sugar, brush teeth regularly with any powder or paste that helps the brush to clean them...
Montana knew just how to honor a favorite painter of the Old West.

Until last week's Monza, Ascari's closest brush with death was 1949's Netherlands Grand Prix. Ascari was leading by three laps. "I was doing 120 m.p.h. on the straightaway," he recalls, "when all of a sudden the left rear wheel flew off and rolled into a meadow." Somehow, Ascari managed to keep his Ferrari balanced on three wheels, gradually let it slow...
