...Japanese will continue to win a greater share of U.S. sales because of lower labor costs, superior productivity and better business-government relations. Goldschmidt, for example, suggests that Ford may one day be forced to move most of its production overseas, which would severely injure basic U.S. industries like rubber and steel...
Like the diaphragm, the cap works by preventing sperm from migrating from the vagina to the uterus and then to the fallopian tubes, where conception occurs. The diaphragm is a thin rubber shield held in place against the vaginal wall by the tension of its springy rim. The cap is a thicker, thimble-shaped rubber or plastic cup that fits snugly around the neck of the uterus, the cervix, and is kept in place by suction. Both devices are used with spermicidal cream or jelly...
...Bethesda corpsmen, Custer and David, placed the time at which Kennedy's body was first delivered to the morgue at about 6:45 p.m. When the plain "shipping casket," as some witnesses called the coffin that arrived then, was opened, Kennedy's corpse was in a rubber body bag.

With an 8-ft. pruning pole he reached high into the drooping branches, poking, pulling, sawing back and forth. For years he has stretched his muscles with a small, rubber-tired wheel that has a wooden bar through its center. Crouched on his knees, Reagan rolls the wheel far out in front of him, back and forth, 30 or 40 times. He even carries it with him on the road...
