Last week the novel method was under hopeful study in both the U.S. and faraway Africa. The drug Dr. Sullivan and his colleagues chose was Methotrexate, because it has a handy, harmless and effective antagonist in folinic acid, also known as CF, for citrovorum factor. At Memorial and other hospitals, they have tried the combination on a score of patients with cancer confined to the head, where a high concentration of the drug could be infused through a single artery in the neck. In many cases the cancers shrank rapidly, and one man is disease-free after two courses...

Tuned to the 21-centimeter waves (1,420 megacycles) that come from cold hydrogen in interstellar...

In five weeks, Negro "sit-in" demonstrations at segregated lunch counters had raced from North Carolina to South Carolina to Virginia to Florida to Tennessee and into Deep South Alabama. A unique protest against Jim Crow kindled by four college freshmen in Greensboro, N.C. (TIME, Feb. 22], the Gandhi-like Negro civil disobedience campaign, without any apparent central organized direction, continued to spread...
Cinema Stock Company. Technically, Bergman is a master of his trade. He drifts about the studio with a faraway gaze in his eyes-"He looks like a snake charmer, a conjurer"-but he sees everything. He drives his technicians hard, demands and gets unquestioning loyalty from his actors. Most of them are prominent players on the Swedish stage; yet year after year they take parts in Bergman's pictures, even though it means giving up summer vacations, even though the parts are sometimes small and the pay unexciting...
