Frankly, I like a smiling Adlai Stevenson such as I saw last week at a Westchester picnic; riding a kiddie train, making witty comments-but the serious portrait by James Chapin on the July 16 cover is superb. Let me also thank you for your very fair-minded feature story on the governor. I have not a doubt in the world but that this vastly intelligent, capable, honest man is destined to be the next occupant of the White House...
Thanks for the excellent eye-opening report. Just in 1949 (with a B.S. in physics and math), I found in many a fair-sized concern that the director of research was either nonexistent or at the very bottom of the administrative list. With sales managers near or at the top of the list, I went into sales. W. ROBERT MELZER Pittsburgh...
...Sikhs (6.2 million) is always close to the boiling point. The nation's 50 million untouchables suffer from caste discrimination, resting, in the words of an Indian government official, on "prejudices deeper than the one against Negroes in the U.S." The 26 million ebony-colored Tamils claim that fair-skinned northerners (like Nehru) persecute them because of their color...
...Complaining Angel was a "harder ticket" than Broadway's My Fair Lady-only nuns were admitted to its three performances, staged as a training project by the department of speech for the summer school that annually brings some 800 teaching sisters to Notre Dame. "You can't teach a skill if you have never mastered it," explains Drama Teacher Natalie White, who wrote and directed the show.

Then came drugs that did the trick in many cases. First were the hexamethonium compounds (TIME, Aug. 4, 1952), which simply lowered blood pressure. About three years ago doctors began to experiment with reserpine. This did double duty for a fair proportion of such patients; it lowered their blood pressure and also-perhaps more important-being a tranquilizer (ataraxic), it reduced their irritability and insomnia. At the Mental Health Institute in Cherokee, Iowa, Dr. Anthony A. Sainz gave reserpine to 89 patients classed simply as senile psychotics. In 62 cases the symptoms disappeared-agitation, apprehension, dependency, depression, quarrelsomeness. Seven cases...
