...limiting factor is the number of salaried summer jobs available to college students with government agencies or Congressmen," McCloskey explained. He stressed that he did not want to see the department committed to permanent sponsorship of such a program "when it might better spend its funds elsewhere...
What to do? The first thing is to learn more about retardation's causes, said the President. So far, only about 25% of cases can be medically explained by mongolism, birth injury, infection in infancy, German measles early in gestation, the Rh factor, lead poisoning, or uncommon defects in the body's enzyme chemistry. Where no such factors can be detected, retardation is commonest, said Kennedy, in urban and rural slums, in places where women get little or no doctoring during pregnancy. And there is much retardation among these mothers' abnormally high proportion of premature babies. Children...

Conceived by Pittsburgh Oral Surgeon Robert M. Hall, and manufactured by Ohio's Aro Corp., the lightweight (6% oz.) device looks like one of the ultra-highspeed modern dental drills, and is driven by compressed air. The air power is a big safety factor; it permits surgeons to use the drill around explosive anesthetics without fear of sparks. But whereas most dental drills are controlled by a foot brake, the new model has a fingertip on-off control. It can turn up to 100,000 revolutions per minute and come to a dead stop in a fraction...
...elements in the mystery have been clarified, says ''Viruses and Cancer." a progress report published this week by Manhattan's Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research. In many of the cancers, including leukemias of domestic fowl and laboratory animals, a virus is an essential factor. But to say that a virus causes the cancer may be an oversimplification. The tubercle bacillus is the one essential factor in tuberculosis, but mil lions of people carry the bacillus without ever developing the disease. By analogy, researchers argue, it may be that viruses, or viruslike particles of whatever origin...
