...virologists* have just made a stab at classification in Virology, conceding that they are making "some dogmatic statements and sweeping suggestions based on grossly inadequate knowledge." They recognize 400 viruses as infecting vertebrates, rate 50 of them, including rabies, as unclassifiable, and put the rest in six groups (see chart). They leave out the large "mantle viruses'' of parrot fever and trachoma, which are vulnerable to antibiotics and other drugs...
This year the horse most frequently bracketed with Man o' War is one of Big Red's own great-grandsons (see chart): a doughty, walnut-hued, four-year-old gelding named Kelso, who runs like an antelope, eats like a longshoreman (10 qt. of oats daily), and is hooked on sugar cubes. The only race Kelso has lost this season was the Washington Park Handicap, in which he finished fourth on a slippery track, under top weight of 132 lbs. Running against the best distance and weight-carrying horses in the nation, Kelso has won the Brooklyn. Suburban...
Lately they have been doing that. The payments gap has narrowed from last year's $3.9 billion to an anticipated $2.3 billion this year (see chart). But in very recent months the gap has begun to widen again. Economic expansion in the U.S. has brought on a new demand for imports at a time when exports are declining. The Administration hopes to reverse this trend by spurring an energetic export drive. Last week some 2,000 businessmen who gathered in Manhattan for the annual convention of the National Foreign Trade Council expressed confidence that the export drive would succeed...
Pointing Up. Since the economy started up last winter, both of these indicators have moved in a favorable direction every month except one-September (see chart). September's unfavorable turn was due to a slide in industrial production that most economists regard as a temporary pause caused in large part by the auto strike and Hurricane Carla. The September pause did not upset Commerce Secretary Luther Hodges, who last week pointed ebulliently to the yellow-bound first issue of Business Cycle Develop ments and said: "The economy as reflected here moved up briskly during the first six months...
Mensa has continued to retreat from the grandiose conception of 1945. But if the club has thrown overboard Berrill's dream that it might chart England's future, intellectual democracy has had its compensations. After a long period of stagnancy, membership has boomed tenfold since 1958, so that today there are 2,000 members. In the last year, a small platoon of advance guards have infiltrated this country and have already set up a flourishing chapter in New York, and are organizing a new group in the Boston area...
