...ceremony. Then the entourage-one King, two ex-Kings, nine princes, twelve princesses and the royal family's one private guest, Bishop Fulton Sheen of Manhattan (a close friend of Leopold's and Liliane's)-drove through the cheering streets to the five-century-old St. Gu dule Church. There a shaky but beautiful bride, alternating between stifled giggles and sobs, and a grim, nervous but handsome groom in a resplendent new uniform of a naval commander, heard themselves for the second time pronounced man and wife. "Italy," said the gallant old (85) Cardinal van Roey...
Doctors disagree sharply on the value of vaccination against tuberculosis with BCG, the Bacillus of Calmette and Guéerin (TIME, Sept. 23). Nearest approach to a consensus is that BCG is not to be recommended for people enjoying high standards of sanitation and health, but may be good for those with low resistance, living in overcrowded conditions, and those exposed to TB victims. Now the results of a long-term experiment show how effective the vaccine can be. In the Archives of Internal Medicine, three University of Pennsylvania researchers report striking benefits among American Indians...
Last week the High Court sat again for what was probably the last trial of a top Vichy official.

Twelve years after, the passionate division of all France between those who collaborated and those who resisted had worn itself out. Noted one Paris newspaper: "Guérard's best defense attorney was time...
...Drawbacks. A second strong plea for the vaccine is.made in BCG Vaccination Against Tuberculosis (Little, Brown; $7.50) by the University of Illinois' Dr. Sol Rosenthal. With the help of the Pasteur Institute's famed bacteriologist Dr. Camille Guérin, 84, TB Fighter Rosenthal records the disappointments attending early efforts to perfect a TB vaccine, then the surprising success of France's late Dr. Albert Calmette, with Guérin collaborating, in attenuating a strain of tubercle bacilli taken from human patients by growing them in cattle. The trouble was that the vaccine, now universally known...
