...There is strong evidence that a link may exist between leukemia and Mongolism. two Minneapolis researchers report. Drs. William Krivit and Robert A. Good of the University of Minnesota found that in four years (1952-55) the two conditions occurred together at least 34 times in children four years old and younger, far oftener than the number (12.3) expected from chance alone. Likelihood that the cases occurred by chance in a four-year span, say the statisticians. is less than one in a thousand.

...discontinuing the current Mary Worth sequence because it was a "thinly disguised attack on the creator of another comic strip."

Sal suddenly finds himself up to his downy cheeks in an escape engineered by two desperate jailbirds, whom he met and befriended while they were sweating over some local ditchdigging. Impressed into helping them make a swampy getaway, Sal gradually gets into his hardening skull the idea that no bad man is all bad. The corollary: some of society's watchdogs (such as sadistic Prison Warden J. Carrol Naish) and false heroes (the millionaire trucker) can be absolutely no good...
