Running the Gamut. That gloomy forecast deserved attention if only because "Sirius" is the nom de plume of Hubert Beuve-Méry-the editor of France's most respected daily. Beuve-Méry, 58, a grave, greying man with a permanently skeptical arch to his brow, has modeled Le Monde after his own image. Like its editor, Le Monde is more conservative than Catholic, more trenchant than traditional, more republican than radical, more pro-French than anti-American, more non-Communist than antiCommunist. At a time when much of the French press ranges from sycophantic toward...
...long gamut of uses the Fellows could serve attests to the plan's merit, but also indicates that personal interest alone can make the plan succeed.

No fewer than 70 viruses have been shown to cause human diseases that run the gamut from the simple common cold (runny nose and other discomforts, but usually no fever) to influenza. Most discouraging for snifflers awaiting a wonder drug: in some people, at some times, viruses of supposedly the relatively harmless, common-cold class may cause disease as severe as influenza, while the more feared...
...were won over by Dr. Poindexter's offer to screen applicants without a fee. Even the scheme's sponsors were surprised by the applicants' qualifications: fully half had some college education, and about 20% had college degrees. In their case histories could be found the whole gamut of emotional illnesses. Some were still on active follow-up treatment; others were taking only tranquilizers. Some were rated as fully rehabilitated-except for inability to get work. Average time out of a job since leaving hospital was 3½ years...
