...Sept. 24, 1955, Stanislaw Lopuszynski walked into the office of a Warsaw doctor and complained of a pain in his head. He had good reason to complain: there was a bullet in his skull. After the slug was removed, police came to Lopuszynskrs bedside and patiently reconstructed his movements of the few previous days. Lopuszynski remembered driving near Cracow with a friend named Wladyslaw Mazurkiewicz after a night of heavy drinking. A loud explosion had suddenly awakened him from a snooze. "It's nothing," his companion had said. "I just wanted to scare you with a firecracker...
Years later the anonymous author of this trenchant judgment announced his identity. It was Nehru himself. Today Nehru is very close to being Caesar. Critics complain that his Cabinet consists not of ministers but of courtiers like the mercurial former U.N. delegate Krishna Menon, who is almost as unpopular in India as in the U.S. They charge, too, that Nehru's personal interference in every detail of government has sapped the initiative of his subordinates and prevented the emergence of potential national leaders...
Simple Salt. In the hospital the most frequent and most neglected pain is that of the patient fresh from the operating room, says Baylor University's Dr. Arthur S. Keats. But this pain is by no means universal.

The operations most...
...matter how real the pain, the reaction to it varies vastly with the individual and the circumstances. Boston's Dr. Henry K. Beecher noted in World War II that only one-fourth of the soldiers seriously wounded in battle complained of pain (their wounds meant the end of combat and return to safety); among civilians with comparable wounds produced by surgery, three-fourths complain. When Dr. Keats slipped such patients injections of simple salt solution instead of the narcotic they expected, 43% said that the pain went away. Other patients, told that they were to get "a new drug...
...real-estate brokers and land developers are eligible for FHA mortgages on trade-in deals, thus freeing them of the financial burden of carrying trade-ins on their own. Furthermore, builders who take trade-ins are no longer required to make FHA-approved major improvements before reselling them. Builders complain that the FHA still takes too long to move, appraises houses too low, lends too little on mortgages. In most cases, builders can get a top of 85% on the owner's mortgage, which in turn represents a top of 86% of the FHA appraisal...
