...started to paint this week's cover portrait of Sargent Shriver, chief of the anti-poverty campaign, Artist Ben Shahn recollected his own fairly close acquaintance with the condition of the poor. "I grew up with it," he says, "and then had another dose during the Depression...
...able to apply this new perspective to your life when you come back down." She "goes up" only a few times a year, in order to have time to think over her last experience and relate it to her life "down here." "Each time I take a dose," she said, "I plan it carefully, because I have new problems to deal with, and I forget after a number of months just what it was like."

Rifles v. Ruffles. If the President's unorthodox strategies fail, stronger medicine may be in order-though probably not as strong as the dose that Lester Pearson's Liberals last week readied for Canada.

Measurin tablets contain some 6,000 microscopic particles of aspirin, each coated with a semipermeable plastic. Gastric fluids flow through the plastic walls and dissolve the aspirin-which flows out of the capsule at a controlled rate for a continuous eight-hour period...
...gynecologists and other doctors have taken to prescribing estrogens, even though they may not accept Dr. Wilson's more extravagant claims, two questions are constantly reiterated: How safe are the hormones? Could they eventually cause cancer? The answers are surprisingly clear. If a woman takes only the prescribed dose-but no more-the hormones seem to be perfectly safe. The only patients for whom they emphatically should not be prescribed appear to be those who have already had cancer of the breast or uterus, those with liver disease, and (just possibly) those who have had endometriosis (abnormal growth...
