Around the White House offices somber-faced staffers tiptoed across the squares of linoleum tile, whispered out their business as if some member of the official family were seriously ill. There was no laughter; tension ran higher than at any time since Dwight Eisenhower's heart attack. In the spacious, green-carpeted corner office, only 30 paces from the President's own, worked Presidential Assistant Sherman Adams, 59, briskly shuffling papers, softly snapping monosyllabic orders as he had since the day that he became Dwight Eisenhower's chief of staff in January...
Congressional Democrats, battered for years by the corruption-in-Government issue, said remarkably little aloud but smiled at each day's news. They would not soon forgive Adams for such few but flinty campaign speeches as his January 1952 "Augean Stables" attack on Truman and the promise that Eisenhower would clean up federal corruption: "Here is the man to do it.

...longdistance blast had nothing to do with politics. "I am interested." he said, "in getting out a bill which will be effective for the working people of this country.

"I would anticipate that any agreement to suspend testing, if made, would not be an isolated agreement, but be a part of other arrangements . . . All suspension of testing means is that the arsenal of nuclear weapons that you have is accumulating...
Difficulty is that the poliomyelitis virus belongs to a family of at least three enteroviruses (so called because they can multiply in the gut) that sometimes cause no detectable illness, but at other times attack the nervous system. Doctors used to think that the only one of the three capable of causing paralysis was the virus of polio itself. This may not be so, say Hammon and colleagues. After studying six patients who were immunized against polio with gamma globulin in prevaccine days and then developed a paralytic disease that was mistaken for polio, they now suggest that the guilty...
