Washington's medicine may best be described as a big dose of more of the same. It "does not imply," U.S. Ambassador to Saigon General Maxwell Taylor was quick to warn, "any change in U.S. strategy or in the command structure"-meaning that the U.S. was still not taking over direct command in the war or changing the rules. Like those who preceded them, the bulk of the new men will fan out into the most harassed provinces, not to command but to teach, cajole, curse, exhort, and occasionally inspire Vietnamese soldiers half their size, in what must...
...since used it, with iodine 131, to get revealing scintillation-scan pictures of 225 patients, with no ill effects. Dr. Taplin himself has now used the technique for more than 150 patients. He employs iodine 125. The safety of the method is attested by the fact that the radiation dose each patient receives is much less than he would get from special chest X rays for this purpose. And the minute amount of radioactive iodine is flushed out of his body within 24 hours...
Starting with a brother-sister pair of mice in the "mouse house" at Los Alamos, Geneticist Spalding raised generation after generation of mice, the equivalent of 900 years of mankind. When the males of one line of Spalding's mice were about 26 days old, they were dosed with one-third the amount of X rays that would have been necessary to kill them-as much as they could take and still reproduce. Females were not irradiated since a similar dose would have left them sterile...
...feed each other jokes. But the jokes lack nourishment. Foppishly appraising a coffin, Price sneers: "Nobody in their right mind would be caught dead in that thing." True enough. So Basil Rathbone gets buried alive, while Boris Karloff, in a minor role, eyes his former gloom-mates and a dose of poison with equal distaste. "When I was young," Karloff grumbles, "we knew how to live." They also knew how to die - back in the days when a tongue in the cheek was soon pickled in brine...
...answer to the problem is to inject a dose of economic corporatism into a political framework which has traditionally revolved around ideological issues. In addition to the popularly-elected National Assembly, Mendes would see a second house composed of the representatives of labor unions, professional organizations, and consumer groups. Corporatism has been unpopular in France since the efforts of the wartime--and collaborationist--Vichy governments in that direction; but Mendes contends that corporatism is dangerous only when it is given complete control of the state, or when the institutional structure fails to register changes in economic realities...
