...closeup of an ailing, sorrowing Woodrow Wilson, after he had lost his crusade for internationalism-and an equally telling shot of Warren Gamaliel Harding as he testily misses a short putt. The Ku Klux Klan parades in great billowing ranks down Washington's Pennsylvania Avenue and through a flare-lit initiation ceremony in a Georgia glade. J. P. Morgan stares inscrutably through a Wall Street window, Josephine Baker struts her stuff at the U.S.-tourist-packed Folies-Bergère, Al Capone waddles contemptuously in and out of a courthouse, Babe Ruth rounds the bases, Lindy goes into...
Breathing Space. The Polish Communist leaders had settled for "gradualism." The question is: Will a gradual transition to national Communism satisfy the Polish people? The Poznan trials had sparked a vast flare-up of national feeling in Poland. Peasant farmers abandoned their collective farms (280 farms dissolved in the Szczecin district alone), workers took over factories, and university students demonstrated all over the country. The situation paralleled that in Hungary, except that the Communist leadership apparently reacted in time, and so earned a breathing space.

Ancient animosities flare anew. . . In such a critical situation we cannot expect to erase suddenly the bitter heritage of the ages. We can-we must -and we shall-go on striving to do all in our power to heal old wounds, rather than let them re-open into bloodshed...
...which the cause is known, up to a point (the body's inability to dispose of purines without creating an excess of uric acid), and the only one for which diet is important. About 95% of victims are males. The disease smolders indefinitely, but is marked by acute flare-ups with excruciating pain in swollen, inflamed joints. In rare cases, it can threaten life by depositing uric acid crystals in the kidneys or heart. Sufferers must avoid foods rich in purines-yeast, herring roe, sardines, asparagus, and many organ meats such as sweetbreads, liver, heart and kidneys. Other treatment...
