...else to test them out. In 1933, Dr. Fleming himself lent a hand with M & B 693, also known as sulfapyridine. The sulfas almost seemed to be the dream drugs he had looked for. They stopped deadly streptococci, even cured pneumonia. But the more sulfa drugs were used, the clearer it became that they 1) sometimes delayed healing by irritating wound walls, 2) did not work well in serum or pus. When used internally, they can cause severe, sometimes fatal, toxic reactions (TIME...
Television standards, said CBS, were fixed by FCC three years ago, and remain unchanged. If they continue so, postwar television will not be in a position to take advantage of the fact that the war has stimulated electronics to the point where a much clearer television image is almost a certainty. To get these war-born improvements into commercial television, CBS proposes that the radio industry write off the $20,000,000 it has already-spent, that owners of the 7,000 U.S. television receivers scrap them, and that television start afresh with the wartime improvements.

Times readers reached for their pens; wrote the Rev. L. F. Harvey, of Shrewsbury: "He [Lord Lang] would have made the matter clearer had he said 'even at the cost of the lives of British and Allied troops.' . . . Does the Archbishop wish to convey that he regards human life as of less value than a monument?" Wrote Poet Sir John Squire, former editor of the London Mercury: "The Reverend Gentleman seems to think that stones are stones and St. Peter's but an organized quarry instead of a crystallization of the human spirit, building ad majorem...
