...recession should deepen, a fairer remedy might be the tax cut urged by Automan Curtice, many U.S. economists and some members of Congress, and conditionally approved by Treasury Secretary Robert Anderson. Unlike wage raises, tax cuts would increase purchasing power without upping business costs, and would benefit all earnings instead of just members of muscular unions such as Walter Reuther's U.A.W...
...bitter settlement of accounts after World War II, French justice gave short shrift to the men who had run the Vichy government for the Nazis. By the records, 8,348 collaborators were executed without benefit of trial and another 1,325 were sent to their death by kangaroo courts.

...patients treated since the late summer of 1955 at Frankfurt's University Medical Clinic, said Dr. Pfeiffer, 78% achieved good control of their diabetes, and the benefit shows every sign of lasting.

Tolbutamide did no good from the start in 8% of cases. In a further 8% it had to be dropped because early good results wore...
Around recording studios, where the best musical reputations are stubbed out during coffee breaks like smoked-down cigarettes, a West Coast lad named Jimmie Rodgers currently enjoys unanimous popularity.

The charge that propelled him to success, a ditty called Honeycomb recorded several months ago for a small New York label, hymns in strongly rolling accents the wonders of birds, bees...
With this example of cooperation began the International Geophysical Year (July 1, 1957-Dec. 31, 1958), a joint effort by all the world's scientists to benefit all the world. Last week in Science, U.S. IGY Director Hugh Odishaw made an interim report on U.S. participation in the 67-country effort to study man's planet. Some of the high spots...
