Among the common forms of kidney disease that are not caused by inflammation is one that used to be called nephrosis, but is now labeled the nephrotic syndrome. Its origins are unknown, said Cornell's Dr. E. Lovell Becker, though sometimes it clearly follows an earlier kidney disease, or it is the result of an entirely different disease, such as diabetes. Even its course is impossible to predict. "The only thing certain," said Dr. Becker, "is that a fair number of these patients will go on to recover...
...have jobs-a proportion unequaled in Western Europe. Guided by countless women's magazines and a keenly competitive, cosmopolitan fashion industry, they spend a hefty proportion of their earnings on hairdos, makeup and clothes. For the first time, German couturiers -notably Willy Bogner, Bessy Becker, Heinz Queisser-have established worldwide reputations...

Becker claimed 167 signatures on a discharge petition, only 51 short of the number required to get his proposal out of committee and onto the House floor.

As a meaningful human drama...
...want to get you hooked on us" was the blunt challenge that greeted us five from Harvard (William Becker DivSch, William Whitney GSAS, Michael Boyd '66, Soheil Zendeh '65, and myself) upon our arrival in St Augustine, March 31. Hosca Williams, a Negro integrationist leader with boundless energy and a broad smile was briefing us on the local situation. Although the demonstrations during the preceding week had succeeded in integrating only one or two restaurants and a church, the persistence of local Negroes and about thirty New England white chaplains and students had at least made an impression...
