...General's Handshake. Only a few hours before, 31-year-old Matt McKeon had been relaxed, almost cheerful as he awaited the decision of the six Marine officers and the Navy doctor who had sat as his judges. His demeanor was an understandable result of a week of remarkable courtroom dramatics. McKeon himself had provided the first highlight. Taking the stand in his own defense, he made a convincing witness as he told the court that his only concern, even as he led his platoon through a tidal swamp, had been for his troops-that if they failed...
Sagging ex-Heavyweight Champ Joe Louis, 42, hit a new snag in his game effort to wrestle his way out of the red, pay off a mountainous $1,210,789 in federal income-tax arrears (TIME, May 14). Examined by an Illinois Athletic Commission doctor, Wrestler Joe was found to have a "cardiac contusion," i.e., damage to the outer layer of his heart, possibly suffered when, as Louis recalled, he cracked three left ribs in a recent grappling match in Ohio. Upshot of the diagnosis: Louis, if his disability proves permanent, can never again wrestle in Illinois, will probably...
Designed to Cause Disease. Dr. Dole, who had done nothing at first to discourage the publicity, wrote an anguished letter to the A.M.A. Journal complaining that the lay magazines had gone overboard and had neglected to mention the dangers of these diets for people not under a doctor's care.

(The "fabulous formula" is essentially the same as a diet designed to produce liver disease and hardening of the arteries in laboratory experiments with animals.) Cutting down on proteins is especially...
...A.M.A. Journal is planning a detailed editorial to set both doctors and dieters straight on the dangers and disadvantages of the latest diet fads. Meantime, the best advice from nutrition and reducing experts such as Harvard's Dr. Fredrick J. Stare was: stay away from the trick diets; reduce only under a doctor's care, then cut down on calories but leave a sensible balance (say 13% protein, 25% fat, 62% carbohydrates) in the daily menu...
...first act, but later became insipid in her farewell scene with Teresa. Joyce White as Sister Marcella was miscast; she lacked the youth and radiance that this nun, who secretly keeps a mirror to catch sunbeams with, should have. In the male roles, Donald McAllister as the Doctor was stiff, formal, and didactic where he should have been casual, worldly, and sarcastic. As Antonio, Robert J. Morris was earnest enough, but substituted too much savoir faire and pompousness for what should have been a certain degree of awkwardness before the nuns...
