Founder. Gautama, the Buddha, the Enlightened One, was born in northern India six centuries before Christ. As the devout tradition goes, Gautama, a king's son, married a beautiful princess, had a child and lived in silken luxury until he was 29. Then, seeing in turn a sick man, a corpse and an emaciated holy man, he was shocked into a realization of the harshness of life. He became a penniless wanderer and for six years mortified his flesh before deciding that extreme asceticism was not the path of deliverance...
...pork-fed bosoms and thighs. Steve Canyon is an illustrated primer on military chess and international intrigue. The only violence not yet committed on the ageless person of Orphan Annie is rape. Even Peanuts, a comic with its points for young and old, is often a subtle dose of child psychology. Last week a comic created and drawn just for the kiddies-and, what's more, for kiddies too young to read-was running in eight papers (combined circ. 2,834,068),* and forcing reluctant parents to the piano and the kazoo...
Willie's world is designed for the three-to seven-year-old child. Older fans are welcome, but mostly as reading aides and accompanists for the songs.

...neglected its little brother, strontium 89, though they are similar in emitting damaging beta rays. Main difference: Sr-89 decays faster, losing half its activity in 54 days, v. 20 years for Sr-90. But of the two, Sr-89 may be a greater hazard to the unborn child, warned Dr. Arthur R. Schulert of Columbia University's Lamont Geological Observatory, because an atomic fission bomb produces 160 times as much of it, and 20 times as much as appeared in milk after weapons tests. While Sr-89 does not remain active long enough to harm an adult...
...many children a woman has makes little difference. Dr. Lovshin found. Most of his patients had only one or two. "A woman with one child just worries four times as much about the one as the woman with four children, and it all comes out even." What does make a difference is age. None of his patients were under 20, but many were going on 40. "The nervous system can't take so much after 30, and two hours of screaming is bad enough at any age, but after 36 it is unbearable...
