...More Grinding. Wheeler finally got the wounded American officer out, and though U.S. sources later described the retreat from Viet An as "a break from contact" with the Viet Cong, it was clearly a bug out. The main reason was simply that the Vietnamese soldiers had been in steady action for more than a year with hardly a break. Even with the artillery and air support that was lacking at critical moments in Viet An, troops so weary could hardly be expected to perform with skill in the grinding day-in-day-out war. The only sure cure for battle...
...insects the most repellant; as I have never seen one, I have no reason to doubt the accuracy of this judgement. It creates, however, horrible problems in dealing with Don Marquis's archy. Most readers resolve these by regarding him as a type of masculine lady bug, and a director would probably gain little by probing the entomological implications of the creature's identity. But still, the interpretation of archy determines how much dramatic mileage can be gotten from archy and mehitabel...

Never Twice. The Pitman-Moore vaccine offers a way out of the dilemma. After nurturing scores of "generations" of Enders' bug, Dr. Anton J. F. Schwarz now grows the final product in cultures of cells from virus-free eggs. When injected into a child, it causes no rash or fever; the Public Health Service's hypercritical Division of Biologies Standards is satisfied that the vaccine contains no contaminating viruses. New York University's Dr. Saul Krugman reports that 2½ years of testing indicate that one injection confers just as solid immunity as the natural disease. "That means it should...
