Taking up where he left off with Mr. Willkie two months earlier, the President ran through the memorandum point by point, challenging Powerman Willkie at almost every step. Head bent over the paper, on his desk, he was asked to raise his voice. Finally he hit the Willkie request for modification of the holding company "death sentence."

Above all, babies should nurse only from the breast when at all possible...

It is a highceilinged, barnlike room in a remote corner of Teachers College, with a little office in the back where Dr. Thorndike sits in a high-backed chair at a rolltop desk. The factory is crammed to the ceiling with manila-wrapped bundles containing tests and data. Dr. Thorndike knows what is in every last one of them...
