Elderly Temperature Readings Question Normal Benchmarks
A study by Dr Trevor Howell examined body temperature in 326 men aged 65 to 91 over a year. It found readings often fell below 95 degrees when measured for short times, suggesting standard methods may understate true temperature in the elderly and that longer placement, up to five minutes, is more practical for weak patients.

FTC Basing Point Ruling Spurs Big Business Gain
An analysis argues New Deal rhetoric favored small business while actual policy aided large firms. The FTC and Supreme Court basing point decision allegedly raises costs for single-plant companies, favors multi-plant giants, and undermines decentralization plans critical for war readiness, with Hershey’s as a standard example and prices likely diverging across regions.
