...factories was distressingly clear proof that the government would have to raise an unthinkable $1 billion or $2 billion to build enough plants to industrialize the island. Without ado, Muñoz & Co. sold the government-owned plants to get capital for what Moscoso calls the "incentive and promotional approach," aimed at giving a "multiplier effect" to the government's investment. Instead of "permitting" (in the word of many a nationalist demagogue) the entry of outside capital, Puerto Rico resolved to dragoon or inveigle...
Doctors disagree sharply on the value of vaccination against tuberculosis with BCG, the Bacillus of Calmette and Guéerin (TIME, Sept. 23). Nearest approach to a consensus is that BCG is not to be recommended for people enjoying high standards of sanitation and health, but may be good for those with low resistance, living in overcrowded conditions, and those exposed to TB victims. Now the results of a long-term experiment show how effective the vaccine can be. In the Archives of Internal Medicine, three University of Pennsylvania researchers report striking benefits among American Indians...
...image of their editors-the Arkansas Gazette of Harry Ashmore, the Atlanta Constitution of Ralph McGill, the Greenville Delta Democrat-Times of Mississippi's Hodding Carter.

Dwarfed by the New York Times (circ. 570,717 v. 52,137), and heavily dependent on its news service, Chattanooga's Daily Times is nonetheless no poor Confederate-grey copy of its imposing relative.

When Daily Times Washington Correspondent Charles Bartlett, a Pulitzer prizewinner, blasted the Eisenhower Administration for leaking...
...schools, to insure that the best possible education can be achieved. Education in this part of the twentieth century has become an all-out community affair, with the isolationism of the academic school of the nineteenth century gone forever. The new--as one authors calls the "life-centered"--approach to education demands the interaction of the student with the community, effected through school field trips and parental visits and interest in the school. In community, after community, parents have had to take a stand where schools themselves have failed to provide some facet of educational experience that the intelligent portion...
