...ticket taxes will go up. More comfortable? No, four abreast instead of three. Will it be faster? Yes, if you don't have any bag gage. Who will benefit from it? Not the American traveler. The 747 [Jan. 19] is one pregnant bird that should have used the Pill...
Until last month, no serious side effects had been reported. Chlormadinone, the "one-every-day" birth control pill, was on general-prescription sale in Britain, France and Mexico and was being widely tested in the U.S. Then a few beagle bitches being dosed with abnormally large quantities of chlormadinone developed nodules near their nipples. In the resulting fuss, further distribution of the contraceptive was halted in the U.S. Now the feeling is growing among many researchers that the recall of chlormadinone pills-like the banning of cyclamates-was a hasty and precipitous action that was based on insufficient and possibly...
Chlormadinone differs from conventional forms of the Pill in two vital respects: 1) it consists simply of a synthetic analogue of the hormone progesterone and contains none of the estrogen that has been implicated in clotting disorders among Pill users (TIME, Jan. 26); 2) it is taken every day of the year, and not on the 21-days-on, seven-days-off schedule of other forms of the Pill.

...which is the crucial trouble with The Happy Ending.

Providing some salve under the sun are an old college buddy turned mistress-for-hire (Shirley Jones) and her latest beau (Lloyd Bridges), who watch benignly as Mary succumbs to the brilliantine blandishments of an aging gigolo...
...types are approved for general prescription: 1) 21 daily combination pills containing synthetic equivalents of the hormones progesterone and estrogen, with the latter in a microscopic dose; 2) sequential pills, which provide tablets of an estrogen alone for 14 to 16 days, followed by five to seven combination tablets. A third variety, the "one-everyday" pill of progestin (progesterone equivalent) only, is being tested but is not yet licensed for U.S. prescription...
