...spiritual ills. "I'm more in love today than on the day I married," he swears, "but my wife won't give me a divorce." Solution: wife swapping, with the intellectual taking over for the husband and the husband going off to his mistress. But the cure turns out to be worse than the disease. The intellectual's misery is contagious, and six weeks later everyone is even more wretched than before. In a frenzy, the exes reunite to get the suicide back on the bridge and into the water, where he belonged in the first place...
Addicted to their habit, the compulsives are caught in a wheel of misfortune whose payoffs are broken families, lost jobs and bankruptcy-or, often, embezzlement. G.A. is making only limited headway. The "cure," which requires total abstinence and regular attendance at G.A. meetings, works in about only one case...
...death shattered the hope of 90-year-old John Keener Wadley, oilman-turned-philanthropist, that Frank had been cured by the enzyme (TIME, April 14). Wadley, who lost an only grandson to leukemia in 1943, had poured more than $2,000,000 into the J.K. and Susie L. Wadley Research Institute in Dallas. But only a few weeks after Wadley's jubilant announcement of a cure and the Hayes boy's release from the hospital by Dr. Joseph M. Hill, leukemia cells reappeared. Frank was admitted to Bristol General Hospital, and Dr. Hill immediately resumed the daily injections...
Though Frank died, L-asparaginase was shown to be a promising weapon against leukemia-but not a cure. The enzyme, which apparently starves cancer cells of nutrients that they cannot manufacture themselves, is extracted at great cost-about $15,000 for a month's treatment for an adult-from growths of common bacteria found in the human colon. Dr. Hill is still enthusiastic about the drug and will soon have an abundant supply of it for further trial. Milwaukee's Miller Brewing Co. is closing down part of a Fort Worth brewery and donating fermentation equipment for enzyme...
...simply tosses the Hi-Fido on the floor. The tuning fork vibrates, the dog is distracted, and eventually, insists Miller, a Pavlovian association is created that makes the sofa itself a distraction. If the animal then proceeds to gnaw on the Hi-Fido, it is clearly psychodogmatic. A cure for that is to give it a belt on the behind with a rolled-up newspaper...
