...rebel dead had been laid side by side and covered by the red, white and green flag of Hungary; but in one side street a woman wept alone over the body of her coal-miner husband. In another street, a rebel fighter lay in the sun, a wreath of autumn leaves on his chest. The revolution had not yet counted its dead, but a cursory estimate put the total at 15,000 (including 3,000 Soviet soldiers) and twice as many wounded...
...rare cases, it can threaten life by depositing uric acid crystals in the kidneys or heart. Sufferers must avoid foods rich in purines-yeast, herring roe, sardines, asparagus, and many organ meats such as sweetbreads, liver, heart and kidneys. Other treatment: colchicine (an ancient remedy extracted from the autumn crocus), ACTH, phenylbutazone (a powerful but potentially dangerous drug). Another drug, probenecid, is no good for acute attacks and may actually aggravate them, but paradoxically is the best long-term treatment to keep the disease quiescent. Not yet curable, but now usually controllable...

But top Liberal strategists were more confident; all St. Laurent needed, they said, was a good vacation to be as vigorous as ever...
...first moves back in the capital was to spike all talk of an autumn election (TIME, Aug. 27). St. Laurent assured the Liberals that he was ready to lead an aggressive campaign next year. "If I feel then as I feel now," he said, "I'll want to go to all parts of Canada." St. Laurent began a new practice of taking a different Cabinet Minister or official home to lunch with him every day, to talk politics and government business over the meal. He also drew up an ambitious schedule of personal appearances for every weekend during...
