Difficult Choice. Tetanus bacteria lurk in sewage and soil, in dust and rust. They can enter the human body through any penetrating wound, through the unhealed navel of the newborn, and through drug addicts' contaminated dope. There is so little that even the best of medical centers can do once the disease has developed, Dr. Christensen insists prevention is the only reliable cure. Tetanus toxoid is cheap and safe; it rarely causes unwanted reactions. It should first be given in a course of three shots paced a month apart, he says. There should be a booster a year later...
...want to grow up to be any dumb guy," said one Manhattan slum kid recently. Such children know adults who cannot even read the want ads, and sense the despair of unskilled teen-agers loitering on streets where drink, dope or death is the only exit. Yet as other Americans reach new heights of affluence and aspiration, slum kids are made to feel all the more worthless by their poverty and the color of their skin. Often, dinner is a hamburger served in a paper bag; books are nonexistent; home is a rooming house so transient that in a recent...
This group is closely related to the long haired denizens of "The Bick," but the two are not identical and should not be parleyed into the stock image of a "dope-addicted beatnik."

...Spies & Dope Peddlers. Founded in 1873 to bring law and order to Canada's Wild West, the Mounties (who now number 8,500) are actually Canada's G-men, T-men, Secret Servicemen, revenue, post office and counter-intelligence agents all rolled into one. McClellan himself never served in the frozen Yukon; he spent his years tracking down moonshiners in Alberta, battling the violent hunger marches of the Depression '30s and ferreting out Communist spies in the '40s. When Russian Cipher Clerk Igor Gouzenko walked out of the Soviet embassy in 1945 ready to tell about...
...wisely. He hired Edward Bennett Williams, one of the nation's shrewdest trial lawyers. Williams promptly petitioned for a new trial. During their original appearance in court, he argued, the defense had not had access to the prosecution's notes on the pretrial testimony of the disgruntled dope peddler. In 1957, Williams pointed out, the Supreme Court had ruled in Jencks v. U.S. that a defendant in a criminal proceeding is entitled to see reports of pretrial testimony...
