...nearest kitchen or Scout knife has saved many a life when used in emergencies to open the chest for massage of a stopped heart. But the method is risky. This week Johns Hopkins University researchers reported success in 50 cases with a faster and safer technique, suitable for use by laymen after a little training. The principle: closed-chest massage...
...into two more unfortunate monuments to his uncle's administration of Japan. In the heady early years of the occupation, General MacArthur was somehow persuaded to let SCAP's Labor Division fasten onto Japan a set of labor-relations laws that gave Japanese unions a readymade war chest by imposing the dues "checkoff," and saddled the country with minimum standards for working hours, accident compensation, etc. matching those of the U.S. Desperately short of trained leaders, the unions all too often turned to Socialist and Communist agitators, who set about converting the labor movement into an anti-American...
With methodical thoroughness Jim Robinson, 35, examined the record. On June 9, 1954, Detroit police had answered a call to the residence of Walter A. Pecho and found Pecho's wife Eleanor dead of a shotgun wound in the chest. Pecho, an Oldsmobile plant worker, insisted that his wife had killed herself, showed police a suicide note.

He was convicted of second-degree murder; on Nov. 16 of the same year, still swearing his innocence, Pecho entered the state prison at Jackson to serve 15 to 20 years...

Reporter Robinson also discovered that some evidence strongly implying Pecho's innocence had not even been introduced at the trial...
George Brecht, 30, of Greenwich Village has produced a Medicine Chest which is just what the title says it is-a medicine chest whose contents the viewer can rearrange and sniff at will, thus in theory entering into the artist's special world. Irving Kriesberg's Lovers XI 1957 is a double frame of moving panels that the viewer can change and thereby create "paintings" of his own. To make Grand-maw's Boy, Allan Kaprow, 32, produced a collage of worn pieces of cloth that were glued next to the fading photograph...
