...born in the East Texas town of Athens in 1891, the seventh son of a farmer and cattle raiser. Encouraged and coached by his father, Sid began trading, at 17 made $3,500 by shrewd cattle dealing.

...Live-polio-virus vaccines, in wide use outside the U.S., are still not really safe for general use as a public-health measure, says Baylor University's Dr. Joseph Melnick after a study of such vaccines.

All the while he inveighed against the restrictions of conventional theaters-theaters with "one box for the actor and another box for the audience and that's all." The first thing he decided to do, Baker recalled last week, "was to break...
