...Green" Hungarians are subdivided into two main categories, "class aliens" and "class enemies." To belong to the first category, it is sufficient to have a parent or grandparent engaged in a "bourgeois" calling, e.g., merchant or doctor-in fact, any occupation at all except worker or peasant. Like the non-Aryans in Hitler's Germany, these people are regarded as opposed to the regime by birth, even though they may never have engaged in active opposition. "Class enemies," on the other hand, may come from a long line of workers or peasants. They include all the known antiCommunists, regardless...
...soon as the U.S. and the four overseas editions of the December 6 issue had been distributed across the world, Dr. Jacobsen began hearing from TIME'S readers and their friends -by cable, airmail, telephone and letter in seven languages. Most of the communications were addressed merely to "Doctor Jacobsen, Copenhagen," leaving it up to the post office to find him.* Last week Dr. Jacobsen's elderly male secretary was so overworked answering the mail that he collapsed...
...good man but a habitual alcoholic. Please send the drug mentioned in TIME. I enclose a check for . . ." or "send antabus whatever it costs."

He advised patients to develop intellectual curiosity and independence, and "a well-cultivated faculty of giving up the old and assimilating the new." Doctors, Gumpert said, should treat the "shock" of aging as carefully as any other form of shock. A patient who is getting on should be made to understand that he is no longer a stripling; otherwise, the inevitable shock, when it does come, will be greater, perhaps disastrous. The patient, thinks...
...Force of habit and force of salesmanship, as much as ability to pay, determine which car is bought. Over the years Buick has become the "doctor's car" because it looks prosperous but doesn't sound too expensive. Between Chevrolet, Pontiac and Olds, the choice is often dictated by the necessity of keeping up with the Joneses. And the snob appeal that sells many Cadillacs can work in reverse: many a man who can afford one buys a Buick instead, for fear the neighbors will think he is putting on airs...
