...nearly two years, beginning in 1951, a House Judiciary Subcommittee pried into suspicious tax and fraud cases that had brought scandal to the Justice Department during the Truman Administration. The most spectacular witness was a drawling, small-town lawyer named Theron Lamar Caudle (TIME, Nov. 26, 1951 et seq.). But more often than not the committee's trail led toward the man who had brought Caudle from Wadesboro, N.C. to Washington: onetime Attorney General Thomas Campbell Clark, since 1949 Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. When Justice Clark was asked to testify, he declined with dignity...
...Science) Hammond, Yale professor of biostatistics, was little moved when Drs. Evarts Graham and Ernest Wynder reported their conclusion that long-term cigarette smoking can cause lung cancer (TIME, March 7, 1949 et seq.). Nothing proved, he said shortly, and went on smoking cigarettes. So did his assistant, Dr. Daniel Horn. But all the while Hammond and Horn were gathering deadly data. They had taken careful smoking histories of 187,766 white men, aged 50 to 69, in 394 counties in nine states, and were keeping track of them to see what killed them. Hammond and Horn figured it would...
...surgery. Said Thewlis: "As a matter of fact, many [elderly] people seem to get along [on] skillful neglect." ¶One in nine "moderate" drinkers is certain to become an alcoholic, declared the University of Illinois' famed and controversial physiologist, Dr. Andrew C. Ivy (TIME, April 9, 1951 et seq.). Sure signs of impending alcoholism: 1) sneaking extra drinks at a party by hanging around the punchbowl, 2) drinking with breakfast, 3) drinking alone, 4) getting angry when deprived of drink, 5) feeling a strong need for drink at certain hours, 6) drinking to ease tension, 7) steadily increasing daily...
Consolidation. As a result, the era when newspapers produced some of America's great fortunes (e.g., Hearst, E. W. Scripps, Pulitzer, et al.) is past. Publishers who like to consider themselves primarily "editorial men" find themselves spending more and more time on business affairs. Even such dailies as the wealthy, institutionalized New York Times, which has about 4,700 employees on its payroll, have been hard hit. Last year's ten-day newspaper strike (TIME, Dec. 7 et seq.) says Times Publisher Arthur Hays Sulzberger, wiped out "virtually all, and I mean that literally, of the anticipated profit...
...Amnesty. Editor Isaacs was joined last week by Editor & Publisher. Looking over the Providence Journal-Bulletin's expose of newsmen working part-time for the state and for New England race tracks (TIME, April 6 et seq.), E. & P. said: "We suggest that every editor and publisher declare a period of amnesty for their employees for 30 days, during which they be requested to voluntarily and confidentially reveal any outside employment. There would be no punishment or retaliation for past indiscretions. And if management found that such work in no way conflicted with the reporter's duties...
