Benny Goodman hospitalized after illness in Newark
Benny Goodman 62 was taken to Newark University Hospital Thursday night for treatment of an intestinal virus. His wife Alice drove him from Stamford to the hospital and he was reported to be in satisfactory condition today. Dorothy Troppi and her husband John won a 12000 settlement against a Dearborn druggist over a mixup that led a tranquilizer being dispensed instead of birth control pills. The Troppis from Plymouth filed the suit in September 1965 after the birth of their son Marty in 1965, seeking damages for medical costs, lost wages, and anxiety.
