...newborn, cystic fibrosis may reveal itself by the infant's inability to pass stools. Surgeons at Babies Hospital have devised a daring operation to open the intestine and flush it out with a trypsin solution. This technique is also being used in Boston under the guidance of Pediatrician Harry Shwachman, and in Los Angeles by Dr. Stephen Royce and his associates. It has prevented many deaths. After surgery, such a child will present the same problems as those whose symptoms develop a few months later in life...
...Holly and the Ivy (London Films; Pacemaker), based on a recent Wynyard Browne hit play in London, has been called by one reviewer "the most deeply moving picture experience of this year"; by another: "earnest, sentimental, agreeably trumped-up, and resolved in a roseate flush." The contradictory opinions trace to a contradictory play. By raising ultimate questions, The Holly and the Ivy brings an audience to serious attention. By answering in church-door platitudes, it cheats expectation. Even so, the watchful urging-along of Director George More O'Ferrall and skillful stage business by a distinguished cast make...
...company had drawn on the talents of such famed members as Michel (Petroushka) Fokine, Vaslav (Afternoon of a Faun) Nijinsky, Leonide (Boutique Fantasque) Massine, Bronislava (Les Noces) Nijinska.

Instead of involved, fairy-tale plots, he shaved his storylines down to wisps of familiar, ancient legends. Thus began his continuing battle to reduce ballet to its fundamentals: the dance itself...
Rarely since her Coronation has Britain's Queen Elizabeth been photographed without earrings. Thanks to the quickness of English women to copy the Queen, Britain's jewelers, long pinched by heavy excise tax (now 75%), are enjoying a new flush of prosperity. Sales of London's Cohn & Rosenberger. Ltd., one of Britain's largest earring manufacturers, have soared about 400% this year. So widespread is the earring fad that in Birmingham, center of the trade, some factories have fallen nine months behind demand, and one has stopped making everything else to catch...
...does Notre Dame do it? Many Notre Dame critics-and they are legion, particularly among rival coaches-point out that Notre Dame's bird-dogging alumni fervently flush out football players by the covey. Even nonalumni, e.g., New York's subway variety, feel such a kinship for the Fighting Irish that they adopt Notre Dame and flood it with batches of scouting reports on swivel-hipped high-school backs, blockbusting linemen. Notre Dame acknowledges the bird-dogging tactics of its alumni talent scouts, but points out briskly that, unlike some institutions which pull players out of trees...
