...Call Me 'Doctor.' " After a cordial reception in Houston early in the week, the pair zipped off to Chicago. No fewer than a million whooping people jammed curbstones and upper-floor windows and let fly with a blizzard of ticker tape that all but buried McDivitt and White as they rode in a parade down State Street and Michigan Avenue. That over, the astronauts flew to the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, where each was solemnly awarded a newly created honorary degree -a doctorate of astronautical science. Already both had been nominated by the President for promotion...
...scarce drugs or dabble in the black market for dollars are in for a tough time. Last year an American got ten months in jail for cracking up a rented car-it was state property. Anxious to show change as well as to harvest dollars, Hungary is generally cordial to former Hungarians who fled...
...reports reached Russia that U.S. seizure of the colony was imminent (it wasn't). The conviction grew that as long as U.S. takeover was inevitable anyway, it would be a shrewd move to surrender Alaska for a song.

In issue after issue, the testimony brought out by the Kefauver committee ran in the fledgling MWN side by side with pharmaceutical...
This very independence helped assure a cordial reception from doctors. So did Geffen's decision to borrow a trick or two from consumer magazines. Originally subtitled "The Newsmagazine of Medicine," MWN offered its contents from the start in readily digestible prose. Unlike JAMA, which is written by doctors, MWN is produced by professional journalists. Today it maintains bureaus in Washington, Chicago, Boston and Paris, and a full-time editorial staff of 51, under Executive Editor William H. White, 40, all with previous experience in medical journalism. This is also true of Editor Morris Fishbein, M.D., a personal friend...
