Cross-Bussing? Negro leaders argue that since Negroes cannot rapidly break down job and housing barriers, they have to muster against the schools-the decaying schools of central Harlem and Brooklyn that are 90% or more Negro and Puerto Rican. With ample evidence that such schools tend to "manufacture" retarded pupils because of overcrowding, poor teaching and lack of cultural stimulus, Negro leaders want compulsory integration with the better and often underused white schools...
...York's able School Superintendent Calvin Gross (TIME cover, Nov. 15) fervently wants to equalize Negro schools with a "saturation" dose of extra money and better teachers. "But you can't get enough money from the city or state," counters the Rev. Milton A. Galamison, a Brooklyn Presbyterian minister and graduate of Princeton Theological Seminary, who heads a committee that unifies Negro organizations...
...Sheir lives on the 16th floor of No. 35 Seacoast Terrace, a brand-new building in Brooklyn, and its walls are very thin.

Not only does he snore-his snoring style was described at a hearing in Brooklyn Criminal Court last week as "of gigantic proportions, an animalistic roar, lionlike, that vibrates the rooms...
Last week the Sloan-Kettering researchers, headed by Dr. Chester M. Southam, announced the answer. With the cooperation of Dr. Emanuel E. Mandel at Brooklyn's Jewish Chronic Disease Hospital, cancer cells were injected under the skin of 19 patients severely ill from non-cancer diseases. The cancer cells did not "take" in any of these non-cancer patients (though four have since died, and one of them had an unrelated, hitherto undetected cancer of the bladder). Immunity to cancer is evidently a universal phenomenon, and it is lost only in the special circumstances, still not understood, in which...
...clear and hopeful as the report was, it was shadowed by a storm in which a member of the Brooklyn hospital's board of trustees charged that the Brooklyn patients had been used "as guinea pigs ... in secret experiments . . . without their consent," that they had not been told what they were being injected with, and that their own doctors had not been told. Dr. Mandel conceded the patients had not been told that the injections were to be of cancer cells, but he insisted they had known they were being tested for immunity against cancer, and had given verbal...
