...constitution written by SCAP's Government Section, the general gave the Japanese the liberties that some of them now seem bent on throwing away-free speech, universal suffrage, an independent judiciary. In 1949, Detroit Banker Joseph Dodge, MacArthur's tough-minded economic adviser, forced upon the reluctant Japanese a stiff dose of deflation and decontrol-and thereby laid the foundations of Japan's present economic strength. No less vital was the land-reform program which, by redistributing 4,500,000 acres of land and cutting tenant farmers from 48% of the agricultural population to only 9%, gave...
Medical scientists this week reported a major advance toward one of their most cherished goals: the ability to replace diseased or worn-out human organs. Writing in the New England Journal of Medicine, a team of doctors from Harvard Medical School and Peter Bent Brigham Hospital described the first successful attempt to graft a man with a kidney from somebody other than an identical twin.

As though bent on slow-motion suicide, the man charged with responsibility for the murder of 6,000,000 Jews was eager to tell all, often asked for pencil and paper to enlarge his replies. With evident satisfaction, Israel's Chief Investigator Abraham Selinger reported that the thin, flop-eared ex-Gestapo leader-who had proclaimed that he would kill himself if he were ever captured-was the most "cooperative" suspect he had ever interrogated...
...theatrical vividness-and the esthetic purity-of its method, without any hint of vulgarity. And though the Kabuki method, by making a ceremony of the mere uttering of platitudes or repeating of pleasantries, often sadly slows things down, even that has its uses in a Broadway world always hell-bent on speeding things...
