Reason: It is now clear that despite the best efforts of medical men and drug manufacturers, only a small part of the U.S. population can be protected in time against the new flu virus that filtered through the Bamboo Curtain last April. For the latest, disquieting report on the invader and on the defense measures being planned, see MEDICINE, Asian Flu: the Outlook...

Within the Imperial Palace grounds (visited by 700,000 Japanese yearly) swarms of graceful scarlet dragonflies dip and glitter in the sunshine.

Last week in Wall Street, the stocks of the modern rocket riders were whizzing up as fast as old Wan-Hu. Olin Mathieson Chemical Corp., a leader in rocket fuels, shot up 6| points in three days to a new high of 54. Reaction Motors, 50% owned by Olin, has nearly doubled in value in the past...
