Senator John McClellan, a fierce foe of OEO, last week attacked the Chicago undertaking as a prototype of OEO's impracticalities. Moreover, critics pointed out that the program hired some almost-illiterate hoods at yearly salaries of up to $6,500 each to teach subjects like remedial reading. Since Fry began to bypass Chicago Mayor Dick Daley's administration, the police have gone out of their way to harass the Rangers and Fry's church. Last week at McClellan's hearings, some Chicago types weighed in with a sulfurous assault on the preacher, his project...
...former Astronaut John H. Glenn Jr., 46, was strolling out of the studio when an unscheduled interruption blared from the monitor. A flock of 20-odd not-so-gentle love children suddenly burst into the studio, pummeled the guards, twisted the director's arm, and took over the program, shouting slogans and obscenities while the cameras still looked on. The mayhem did not end until Manhattan's police, doing their own thing, arrived and collared the unruly invaders.

Although these early results seemed impressive, Dr. Krasno conceded that longer-range studies involving many more subjects are needed. The Heart Institute project has so far recruited 4,800 men for testing, and will eventually have 8,400 at 55 clinics across the U.S. The test program involves four drugs: dextrothyroxine (Choloxin), nicotinic acid (niacin) and estrogens (female sex hormones) in addition to clofibrate.

Last year Jewel's rapidly growing, non-supermarket operations yielded 24% of its $1.25 billion in sales, and an even bigger share of its $17.6 million in profits. Currently in the midst of a threeyear, $100 million expansion program, the company is adding new stores at the rate of 90 a year-and few of them are conventional supermarkets...
Jovian Gases. For all its promise, though, the ground-bound lunar voyage failed to stem rising scientific impatience with the U.S. space program. The scheduled Apollo moon mission is only 18 months away, and space specialists are already demanding that the U.S. start looking beyond the moon to more distant and challenging targets. At the Fourth International Symposium on Bioastronautics and the Exploration of Space in San Antonio last week, scientists repeatedly urged NASA to get on with the job of planning trips to the earth's planetary neighbors. Since unmanned probes have all but proved that the moon...
