...days of drive-in movies and cramps in the groin. And after the reconciliation, with Myrrhina chasing him, he gives a similarly convincing impression of exhaustion. Judith Wells' Myrrhina is a bit colorless at first, but in the scene where she is commanded by Lysistrata to raise Cinesias to fever pitch and then leave him high and dry, she becomes a genuinely enticing piece, a bit of voluptuous femininity. Unfortunately, Dorothea Chunis as Kalonike and Elin Diamond as a bucolic Theban woman had roles far too small for actresses of their ability; Miss Diamond, in particular, created an unforgettable character...
Independence Day has always been a time of patriotic renewal, but flag fever has been sweeping the country for months. "Twenty years ago, flag waving would have been a harmless thing," says Alistair Cooke, a naturalized citizen who for three decades has reported on Americana to his native Britain. "Now it's something of an omen. Some of the flags are carefully pasted upside down-a reminder that the Republic is indeed flying a distress signal...
...more than a year after he began using lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), a 19-year-old U.S. college freshman was admitted to New York's Presbyterian Hospital complaining of fever and malaise. After extensive laboratory tests, his ailment was diagnosed as acute leukemia, or "cancer of the blood," a fatal disease of the blood-forming organs.

What exercised the virologists most last week was a third chemical, amantadine, an anti-influenza drug that the Food and Drug Administration has licensed, but under strict controls. Trade-named Sym-metrel by E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., amantadine does not cure a fullblown case of flu. But it may prevent infection if taken before exposure, and mitigate the illness if taken early enough afterward. The trouble with amantadine is that...
...boys, who would sacrifice anything-including his life-to gain the recognition of his classmates. His chance soon comes. Already snuffling with a severe cold, Nemecsek ventures onto the turf of the dreaded Red Shirts, gets caught and thrown into a lake. He contracts a fatal illness; burning with fever, he helps the Paul Street boys to victory, then is taken home to die. A week later the disputed ground itself is sentenced to death as the site of a new apartment house. The sacrifice, the armies, the war itself were only a series of absurdities...
