Died. Dr. Nelson Glueck, 70, archaeologist and Reform rabbi who thought the Bible a reliable map to buried historical treasure and proved it by digging his way to more than 1,500 archaeological finds in Transjordan and the Negev (TIME cover, Dec. 13, 1963); in Cincinnati. Dr. Glueck was called both "the scholar with a shovel" and "the rabbi with a rifle" because of his fearless exploring in the sniper-infested desert of strife-torn Israel...

According to Goldman's 20-year study, 60% of all warts are spread between family members; others are contracted in locker rooms, swimming pools and washrooms. He urges people with warts to cover them in order to prevent contagion. Neither Goldman nor his colleagues have found a satisfactory cure...
