...Alcoholism is not the only contributing cause of cirrhosis, and may not lead to it at all if the rest of the diet is properly balanced. But the cause-and-effect relationship in France is so clear and so common that he calls cirrhosis of the liver la maladie du gros rouge. The vast majority of 8,000 victims studied had drunk two to three quarts of the stuff every...
When it appeared in France early this year, the book was a runaway bestseller (65,000 copies sold), generating shock waves of conscience. It was banned within weeks. Four leading men of letters-André Malraux, Roger Martin du Gard, François Mauriac, Jean-Paul Sartre-buried their political differences to dispatch a "solemn petition" to France's President René Coty asking the government to lift the ban on The Question and "condemn unequivocally the use of torture, which brings shame to the cause that it supposedly serves." Still illegal, sales of The Question have since soared...
...gave TV is fast rubbing off. Due to die by fall are Studio One, Climax!, Kraft Theater and Matinee Theater. There was one particularly noisy survivor-a stubby, pugnacious man named David Susskind, 37.

...reason for Du Font's turndown of the Government plan was an Internal Revenue Service ruling that would cost Du Pont stockholders millions. IRS ruled that the G.M. stock, if distributed, would be taxable at ordinary income rates when received. If the stock was sold, any profit would be taxed again either as straight income or capital gains. For individual Du Pont stockholders, said President Crawford Greenewalt, income taxes alone would come to an estimated $580 million, plus another $100 million for corporations owning the stock. Moreover, so many shares would be dumped on the market that the market...
...distribution in the same tax-free manner as it treated dispersal of stock by companies broken up by the Utilities Holding Company Act. The difference apparently is due to the Government's view that the utilities were operating legally prior to the law's passage, whereas Du Pont was found guilty of violating the 44-year-old Clayton Antitrust Act. The man who will decide what Du Pont must do is Chicago's Federal Judge Walter J. LaBuy, whose original ruling in favor of Du Pont three years ago was reversed by the U.S. Supreme Court. Last...
