...backing Ky, the U.S. in effect was opposing Tri Quang, whose influence in I Corps is paramount. Tri Quang openly accused the U.S. of supplying guns and tanks to Ky to destroy the Buddhists, and last week his mobs responded by burning the USIS library in Hue to the ground. Police and firemen calmly stood by watching. Later, rebel troops were dispatched to guard U.S. installations in Hué-a move hardly calculated to inspire American confidence. At week's end nearly all U.S. civilians were evacuated...
...designed to act upon a particular organ or upon particular tissues. But as Lieut. Colonel Robert H. Moser of the Army Medical Corps told a Palo Alto, Calif., symposium on "Diseases of Medical Progress": "We are inclined to forget that the drug is also in contact with other tissues. Effects in those areas are not immediately evident: subtle influences may be at work and may become manifest only later." Such long-range effects, Dr. Moser warned, may never be traced to the drug that caused them. "This is a shadow world of pathophysiology, where relation of cause to effect...

However, right now all evidence points to a continued upward trend in the months ahead...
...talk about race goals, Hudgins is a businessman first and a Negro second, and there is little evidence to show that Freedom National has had any substantial effect on Negro ownership in Harlem. The bank has made one large loan, for the purchase of a large furniture store in Harlem by a Negro businessman. This purchase is significant because most Negro businesses are small, service-oriented firms such as beauty parlors and liquor stores. But reliable sources indicate that Freedom National's loan policy and loan rates are not significantly different from those of any other bank in Harlem. Half...
