...product directly to the consumer, and the misleading claim was trumpeted in newspapers and on television. The result was an enormous demand: more than $6 million in sales for Oraflex in the first month. Ironically, the big demand may have resulted in the drug's downfall. Oraflex was withdrawn from the market last month after it was linked to eleven deaths, mostly among patients who were poor candidates for the drug. If it had been promoted less zealously, perhaps fewer of these patients would have urged their doctors to prescribe it. Predicts Industry Watcher Michael Smith of Pharmaceutical Data...
Publicly we made it clear that the U.S. would not invade Cuba if the Soviet missiles were withdrawn. The President never shared the view that the missile crisis should be "used" to pick a fight to the finish with Castro; he correctly insisted that the real issue in the crisis was with the Soviet government, and that the one vital bone of contention was the secret and deceit-covered movement of Soviet missiles into Cuba. He recognized that an invasion by U.S. forces would be bitter and bloody, and that it would leave festering wounds in the body politic...

These officials asked for delay, at least until Polaris submarines could be deployed in the Mediterranean. While the matter was not pressed to a conclusion in the following year and a half, the missile...
Although for separate reasons neither the public nor the private assurance ever became a formal commitment of the U.S. Government, the validity of both was demonstrated by our later actions; there was no invasion of Cuba, and the vulnerable missiles in Turkey (and Italy) were withdrawn, with allied concurrence, to be replaced by invulnerable Polaris submarines. Both results were in our own clear interest, and both assurances were helpful in making it easier for the Soviet government to decide to withdraw its missiles...
First, administrators disclosed they were considering holding a student referendum on whether to choke off the Radcliffe Union of Students (RUS) by eliminating funds for the vocal women's interest group. Then word got out that Harvard had quietly withdrawn funding for the Women's Clearinghouse, a counseling and referral service for female undergraduates. And meanwhile, amid all the retrenchment, the major women's issue of recent months got no attention whatsoever. University Hall still refuses to say how, if at all, it intends to deal with the Faculty members who reportedly harass dozens of undergraduate women each year...
