...some Americans still go hungry. It was the Senate group, chaired by Pennsylvania Democrat Joseph Clark, that visited the Mississippi Delta in April and reported "emergency" hunger conditions. The following month, in a survey commissioned by the Field Foundation, a team of physicians examined more than 600 Mississippi Negro children and found "obvious evidence of severe malnutrition." Two weeks ago, Freeman undertook his own "look, learn and listen" excursion to Mississippi and Alabama as part of a four-state tour to study rural problems. His conclusion: while progress is being made in food distribution and other programs, very real hardship...

His father, an itinerant Congregationalist preacher before settling in an Oak Park, Ill, parish, raised his five children on the King James Bible. At 9, Barton was out delivering newspapers. He worked his way through Amherst by selling pots and pans, graduated in the midst of the 1907 panic and eventually turned to magazine writing and editing.

Mothers who smoke during pregnancy endanger the lives of their unborn children. This is the finding of Oxford University Pediatrician-Professor Neville R. Butler and Martin Feldstein, an American economist at Oxford, who compared the statistics on 617 stillbirths and neonatal (within four weeks of birth) deaths with those of 16,377 live births that occurred in Britain in the first week of March 1958. The results: pregnant women who are moderate smokers (one to nine cigarettes a day) are 20.8% more likely than the average of all pregnant women to bear dead babies or babies who die soon...
