...come to the U.S., timid, troubled Ava Miller had tried almost every way she knew to find her one remaining relative, her brother-in-law's sister, who had been in New York City for 14 years. Ava knew that Anna Sobel had married an American doctor, but she did not know his name. Last week, 28-year-old Ava, a refugee from the Nazi invaders of Poland, visited the vast, murmurous city room of the New York Times, looking for help. It was her last hope...

To make the films, Dr. Prinzmetal and fellow researchers at Los Angeles Cedars of Lebanon Hospital had experimented on 65 dogs. Rabid old antivivisectionist Hearst was being kept alive by one of the nation...
Help from Dogs. Columnist Deutsch also repeated a conversation with Dr. Prinzmetal at a medical meeting in Chicago last summer, when Hearst's doctor was demonstrating an earlier heart technique involving radioactive sodium (TIME, July 5).
