...Heard a report on a way to relieve man's most atrocious pain by injecting hot water into a bundle of nerves behind the forehead. Victims of tic douloureux, an excruciating form of neuralgia, said Philadelphia's Neurosurgeon J. Rudolph Jaeger, are often too feeble for radical surgery, and lose their faith in doctors because most medical treatments give only short-lived relief. Under light general anesthesia, a needle is pushed through the cheek to the base of the skull, the surgeon following it by X ray. When it hits the Gasserian ganglion, he injects scalding water...
...Cover (Paramount) is Jimmy Cagney's 50th. movie, and he proves his durability in the very first reel by walking into a point-blank ambush and emerging with nothing more than a scraped forehead. Since the ambush was a mistake, the chastened townsfolk make Cagney their new sheriff, and he promotes his sidekick (John Derek), who was crippled by the posse, to be deputy. But Derek is the kind of fellow who nurses a grudge-first he helps Badman Ernest Borgnine to escape, then he betrays Cagney, shoots him in the back and leaves him to drown...

...Return. Riding in a jeep, Badshah Nehru led the Lohars up the steep winding road to one of the fort's seven iron-spiked gateways, wide enough for two elephants to pass abreast. Here he ceremoniously applied the vermilion-tinted rice dust to the forehead of the leading Lohar, while the Indian flag was raised on a 120-ft. marble tower erected to commemorate a Rajput victory in the 15th century. "Brothers, come on. Let us enter our fort," cried Nehru...
