...Robert Porter, general counsel and secretary of Charles Pfizer Company, manufacturing chemists, testified that his company had hired Broady to find out how the secret formula of a new drug (Tetracycline) had leaked to competitors. (Earlier this year Pfizer sued Bristol Laboratories, E. R. Squibb & Son and the Upjohn Co. for $50 million, charging infringement of patents.) Pfizer, Porter testified, had paid Broady to shadow 50 of its employees. Broady also tapped the telephones of Squibb and Bristol-Myers on his own initiative, but found no leak...
...expectant tingling raced over thousands of shiny pates last year when Glasgow's Dr. John Kelvin, 53, reported that two patients had grown hair on their bald heads after taking tablets he had prescribed for cramps (TIME, Sept. 27, 1954)- Possible explanation for the growth: the drug (Roniacol) improved circulation of the scalp by its vasodilating (artery-widening) action.

With only Indian-born Rufino Tamayo, 55, whose warm, semi-abstract paintings make him a big prizewinner outside Mexico, now strong enough to challenge...
...Widener's stalls, to professors who give lectures at the College and those who get lectures at home, to students with unwashed feet in Lamont, to the Superintendent of All Janitors, and to the mailman resting from his labours. To professors taking meals on the cheap in the drug stores, equally with the gang in the Faculty Club, and to students whose fathers went to Harvard along with those whose fathers chose to go to the dogs, we give a glad greeting...
...After viewing a rough cut of Otto Preminger's The Man with the Golden Arm, United Artists decided to release the picture whether it receives Production Code approval or not. The story from the Nelson Algren novel deals with a young Chicago gambler (Frank Sinatra) who becomes a drug addict; thus it conflicts with the code's anti-narcotics clause. U.A. may have been influenced by the fact that Preminger's The Moon Is Blue, which it released without a code seal, made a killing at the box office. ¶The box-office success of Universal...
