Last week, with most of the Kennedys looking on, the President handed out the foundation's first awards for outstanding achievement. The story of the awards was buried under a layer of headlines about Jack Kennedy's first public appearance with Adlai Stevenson since the furor over Stevenson's role in the Cuba crisis, but the caliber of the men who were honored and the depth of their work made important medical news. The winners, whose work began in the esoteric reaches of genetics...
...report correctly who was at the meetings and they misquoted those who did attend. The reporters oversimplified the debate by dividing those officials involved into "hawks" and "doves."

...Pravda frequently berates students for hooliganism, debaucheries, or ideological lapses unworthy of Marxists. Fortnight ago, the newspaper turned with relish on a new target: a group of 44 U.S. students from U.C.L.A. and other schools whose low jinks aboard the Moscow-Warsaw express would, if true, have stirred a furor on the Atchison. Topeka & Santa...
