...Enders put a series of assistants to work on it in turn. Each kept the virus growing while transplanting it from one tissue-culture pot to another. One grew it in cultures of cells from human kidneys. Another kept it going through 28 transplantations in cells of human amnion ("bag of waters"). A third got it to flourish in the amnion of fertilized hens' eggs. Dr. Samuel L. Katz took it from there, found that by this time the virus would multiply in chick-embryo cells growing in test tubes...
...still was the image of Texas' come-lately Lyndon Baines Johnson, bolstered by his prestige as a consistent miracle worker in the Senate, confident of a solid block of Southern votes -a block second only to Jack's,. Jack's prize was not yet in the bag...
...moviegoers last week could choose from a wildly mixed bag of foreign films: Operation Amsterdam (Rank; 20th Century-Fox) is what someone once described as an "on-the-run-in-a-raincoat" film. It is not hard to think of half a dozen British pictures like it that were better.

Its slow cruising speed (30-60 knots) and low operating altitude (under 500 ft.) provided an almost perfect platform for the giant (40 ft., 12,000 lbs.) radar antenna rotating inside the helium-filled gas bag. Its great endurance (up to 95 hours without refueling) promised ample range as it beat to seaward off the New Jersey shore one day last week in search of a racing sloop, overdue on a Bermuda-to-Long Island...
...bag caught the eye of Fisherman Frank Mikuletzky as it nosed toward the fishing boat Doris May III. Suddenly, Mikuletzky shouted as the ZPG gently folded and dropped "like a sagging banana." Aboard the blimp, Crewman Antonio Contreras, 22, heard a blast, felt the airship nose over, and seconds later was fighting his way free into the water. Only two of his mates survived the unexplained crash with him. One crewman died after being pulled from the sea; 17 others drowned in their double-decked gondola under 15 fathoms. Later, the missing sloop was spotted by planes and a submarine...
