...JOURNAL (Shown on Wednesdays). This week the magazine program includes a look at all-black Roosevelt City, outside Birmingham; a report on Howard University's research on sickle-cell anemia, the debilitating blood disease indigenous to the Negro; interviews with Actor William Marshall and Playwright Ed Bullins, with an extract from the latter's A Son Comes Home; and a fascinating look at children's games compiled by Leon Bibb...
...after five years of testing, a new blood extract called RhoGAM has arrived on the market. It enables doctors to protect each subsequent child by merely inoculating the mother. RhoGAM consists of a gamma-globulin fraction rich in Rh antibodies. Injected into the Rh-negative mother's bloodstream no later than three days after a miscarriage or the birth of her first Rh-positive child, it curtails her immune mechanism's production of antibodies and lessens the danger to future Rh-positive children. The inoculation must be repeated after each miscarriage or birth, but the tests show that...
...made Gulf Resources, in a single stroke, one of the world's largest producers of lithium, a superlight metal that, in various forms, is used in such disparate products as laundry bleach, synthetic rubber and swimming-pool disinfectant.

...evidence, said Hydén, that the DNA in an old animal differs from that in a young one-and the same is true, presumably, in man. Here, Hydén opened the door a chink for a glimpse into an admittedly farout future. If a reasonably pure extract of brain DNA is injected into some animals, he said, their protein synthesis doubles within an hour. But he was careful to insist: "This does not mean that an elixir of life has been found." Hard facts remaining to be determined, he said, are whether this is a "functionally valuable...
...Finley and other Masters who favor such plans as paying tutors for specified jobs instead of giving them free room and board advance their plans tentatively. They are sensitive to the conflict between formal arrangements which will extract the House's pound of flesh from its senior and junior associates and the goal of such schemes--energizing informal relationships. The most fascinating question before Ford's new committee will be whether structural changes are adequate to cure the ills of the Houses...
