Gov Cox still Is Just big boy. Not
only because of his record accomplish
ment on the health test have already

remarkable facts concerning his health
status do | look upon him as boyish.

was "a millimeters-precisely the low
readings one would expect in big

give a reading Of anywhere from 125 to
40 millimeters, and still be acceptable

higher late in the afternoon; but isn't
it rather characteristic Of boy to feel
wee bit below par" early in the
morning? Sure, Mike! We've all been
that way.
The human machine is cold in the
