...statement itself was hardly news, but its sponsorship was. Half reluctantly, the American Heart Association finally gave its blessing to the anti-cholesterol crusade. In one taut paragraph, it cautiously sanctioned the painstaking work of researchers such as New York's Dr. Norman Jolliffe and Minneapolis' Dr. Ancel Keys. Their research indicates, in essence, that saturated fats stimulate the body's production of cholesterol, which joins other substances to line and narrow the arteries, make them susceptible to blockages that can starve the heart or brain and cause death. A major part of the evidence comes from...
...known universe: two apparently colliding galaxies 6 billion light-years away. The most distant impression ever received by man revealed that the giant clusters of galaxies, at least as large as our own Milky Way, were racing away from the earth at 90,000 miles per second, about half the speed of light...
...from New Orleans and Chicago, and is now Coolsville itself. The Jazz Gallery is a cold, concrete cave that could be an abandoned subway station; dedicated ears listen while Thelonious Monk passively stirs his piano or Dave Brubeck passionately tinkles his.

There are also places like the Metropole, where the old-timers of Dixieland stand atop the bar and blare...

A fanfare brings out the girls-girls dressed in balloons, girls dressed in sequins, girls in high heels clicking along the stage rim, nearly stepping on the ring-siders' elbows. After...
...together an appealing package. To the foreign industrialist, it grants a ten-year tax exemption on export profits and offers to pay the full cost of training the workers (average wage: $29 for a 44-hr, week), plus 50% of the cost of the machinery and up to one-half of the cost of building a plant. In addition, it will pay the full cost of building plants in the underdeveloped western counties. To companies locating plants in the customs-free port in Shannon, it gives a tax holiday on export profits until...
