...brain tumors, both malignant and benign, from dogs and cats. A Florida vet has removed worms from a dog's pulmonary artery with the animal under hypothermia. A dog has no appendix, so is spared the need for an appendectomy, but he has a human-type caecum (a dead-end pouch at a turn in the intestines), which is the favorite hideaway of the whipworm. Vermifuges often cannot reach the worms there, so most vet surgeons do a caecectomy...
...Hammarskjold also recognized Israel's right of "innocent passage" in the Gulf of Aqaba, and thus began at last to work his way out of the dead-end U.N. legalism that Nasser had been the unoffending victim of aggression, and the U.N.'s only responsibility was not to reward aggression. Hammarskjold had to operate within the mandate of the Assembly, where the Arab-Asian bloc, when joined by the Communists, can muster up to 36 out of 80 votes. He suggested that if Israel withdrew to the 1949 armistice line, it might be possible to enforce...

The two of them come off best together in a song-and-dance number, Well, Did You Evah?, in which Bing boo-boo-boos as Sinatra cock-a-doodle-doos...
Attended by an array of Senators, Representatives and high-priced legal eagles, seven U.S. airlines appeared before the Civil Aeronautics Board last week and proceeded to knee, butt and gouge each other like dead-end kids battling for a prize. They were in fact battling for a prize, the New York-to-Miami run, estimated to be worth up to $5.5 million annually to the line that gets it. The run has long been the possession of Eastern and National. Last April, a CAB examiner recommended that in the "public interest" a third carrier (he recommended Delta) be added. There...
