Medical researchers are finding valuable diagnostic clues in what would seem to be an unlikely place-the hollow of an infant's hand. Certain abnormalities in palm lines and fingerprint patterns can alert pediatric cardiologists to the existence of inborn heart defects, including those that develop in the womb, perhaps from a maternal infection such as rubella. Other aberrant patterns may indicate to specialists in the science of dermatoglyphics (literally, "skin carvings") the presence of Down's syndrome (mongolism) and other chromosomal disorders. Now, researchers have discovered that some unusual palm lines signal the possibility of childhood leukemia...
Narrow Range. The most glowing testimonial to amantadine's value came, ironically, from the U.S.S.R.'s most famous vaccine developer, Dr. Anatoli A. Smorodintsev. The drug was given, he reported, in reduced doses of 100 mg. daily to 10,000 Russians in Leningrad, a flu epidemic area. Half of them did not develop flu at all; most of those who did had cases that were milder than average. According to Smorodintsev, the side effects were negligible-though Soviet researchers have been known to soft-pedal side effects before...

...emotional makeup is often the decisive element in aggravating the outcome of a lengthy separation. Women who lost one parent while they were children or whose parents wrangled constantly often lack "a chance to build up a belief in a benign environment," says Navy Psychiatrist Chester Pearlman. They develop severe doubts about whether people who leave them will ever return and never acquire the crucial "capacity to be alone." Dr. Richard Isay, a psychiatrist at the Yale University School of Medicine who has studied wives of submarine sailors, says that extreme dependency is common in wives who never fully break...
...society where children are conditioned to develop conceptually profane areas in their minds to accommodate words that in themselves are neutral, that sends missionaries to teach innocent people living comfortably in warm climates to be shameful of their bodies-which, paradoxically, are made in the image of God -it is refreshing to read of the new morality, which, new or old, was always concerned with the whole man, his intent, not merely his flesh. The days of busybodies and social cancers with boots up to their knees and collars up to their ears are hopefully numbered...
