...Duvalier or Death," read the crudely lettered placards, and 20,000 bewildered peasants herded into Port au Prince obediently tootled bamboo horns, honked on conch shells, and flew kites with painted pictures of "The Renovator." Having brought a crowd to cheer, the dictator who masquerades as Haiti's constitutionally elected President, showed himself in public again and again last week, telling his Negro people that Haiti's problems are economic, not political, and that he has no quarrel with "Monsieur Kennedy, who believes that our continent should be a community of free and independent states."

The dosage was supposed to clean out transient meningococci, the microbes that cause this form of inflammation of the brain covering. But for five weeks, sporadic new cases of meningitis kept cropping up. The Navy flew in Dr. Harry A. Feldman, the nation's top authority on the meningococcus, and the specialist from Syracuse, N.Y., ran blood tests on a sample of 20 recruits. He found that only eight of the boots had faithfully taken their tablets. The Navy was up against a perennial problem...
