Fine summer weather and a brisk breeze are a winning combination for sailing. Cares, as well as sails, are cast to the wind.
The insert, which will appear in pill packages next month, has been challenged by some consumer advocates as being too weak. James Turner, a lawyer associated with Ralph Nader, sued Edwards and the Food and Drug Administration in U.S. District Court Thursday demanding a stronger warning.
Edwards says warnings in pills not to be lifted
Edwards also told UPI he has ordered a new look at the controversial ban on artificial sweetening cyclamates, which have caused cancer in rats. He said the partial ban needs "to be re-evaluated."
Critics of the ban have charged it as a subterfuge to allow foods known to cause cancer in animals to remain on the market, while prohibiting their use in soft drinks.
WASHINGTON (UPI) — Food and Drug Commissioner Charles C. Edwards said Sunday he would not give in to medical profession demands that he cancel orders to warn women about possible side effects of birth control pills.
The odds against being dealt a royal flush in poker are 649,739 to 1.
In a UPI Washington Window interview, Edwards argued that most users of the pill are healthy women who seldom see a doctor. "I think this (the warning) is just an extension of the doctor's capabilities," he said.
City demolition experts said the bombs carried 60 per cent nitrogycerin and were strung together with a heavy fuse. The 24 individual blasts came within a fraction of a second of each other.
"We feel certain that there are a large number of women in this country who are taking the pill not under the supervision of a physician," Edwards said. "And very frankly, we feel this number is sufficiently large that it's our responsibility to provide this warning to these ladies."
Edwards has been strongly criticized by the American Medical Association for seeking to "play doctor" with 8.5 million users of oral contraceptives by requiring manufacturers to insert warnings in packages that the pills could cause serious—and possibly fatal—blood clots.

Stone said all the buses received some kind of damage and many of them were heavily damaged. He said several would be considered a total loss. The yard was on the outskirts of the East Texas town of 52,242 with few surrounding houses. Only the buses were damaged.
Although most of the girls have been here for nearly a week, the contest didn't officially open until Sunday, when there was a scheduled parade down 13 blocks of Miami Beach and then an official welcoming ceremony across Biscayne Bay in Miami.
The force of the nearly simultaneous blasts blew seats out of their frames, wheels off axles and engines off their mounts.
Broken glass lay over the maintenance yard surrounded by a heavy chain link fence. Stone said the bombers crawled under the fence to set the bombs and left the same way.
MIAMI BEACH (UPI) — The week long Miss Universe beauty contest began Sunday and already one of the 64 contestants—Miss Germany—is complaining.
"We've been getting too many hamburgers," moaned Irene Neumann. "I like hamburgers sometimes, but not every day for lunch."
Stone said the buses were parked in three rows and the bombs set under each bus in the two outside rows. He said these
"All of us know the busing of students is going to begin next September but as far as we know and as far as school officials know we haven't had any thing in the way of racial tensions that would cause a situation such as this," Stone said.
LONGVIEW, Tex. (UPI)—Two dozen bombs, exploding near the end of the Fourth of July, damaged 36 school buses parked in a maintenance yard for the summer.
School buses damaged by nitroglycerin bombs
Police Chief Roy Stone said he believed the bombs were made partially of nitroglycerin, but he did not know who set them or why.
"The problems we have had here have been minor and were not led by any professional radical of any kind."
The contest ends next Saturday when one of the women will be picked in front of national television to succeed 1969 Miss Universe Gloria Diaz of the Philippines.

A patrolling policeman heard the explosions and put in the first call at 11:21 p.m. Saturday. No one was injured in the blasts because no one was in the yard.
