...eight members-formed an official conference in 1954 and adopted a "sanity code" to put football in its proper perspective, the Ivy League lapsed wholeheartedly into amateurism. The code reaffirmed longstanding Ivy prohibitions on such standard bigtime conveniences as the athletic scholarship, the fictional job, the specially rigged "gut" course. Coaches were forbidden to hold spring practice and reconciled themselves to starting practice at 5 o'clock on days when key players had afternoon lab periods. Substitute quarterbacks were content to watch the game from the sidelines, never dreamed of such bigtime facilities as huddling before a closed-circuit...
...operations to allow feeding (usually by tube) through the abdominal wall into the stomach. Many victims struggled along for years with these makeshifts. About 20 years ago, surgeons got bolder, devised several operations to supply a missing stretch of gullet by stitching a piece of the child's gut in its place. Appallingly complex, these techniques often needed a series of operations spread over a period of years. They could be done only in major medical centers...

At the lower end, this piece of gut was joined to the stomach. The small bowel was joined to the remainder of the large bowel. Tommy's revamped digestive tract worked fine.

Difficulty is that the poliomyelitis virus belongs to a family of at least three enteroviruses (so called because they can multiply in the gut) that sometimes cause no detectable illness, but at other times attack the nervous system. Doctors used to think that the only one of the three capable of causing paralysis was the virus of polio itself. This may not be so, say Hammon and colleagues. After studying six patients who were immunized against polio with gamma globulin in prevaccine days and then developed a paralytic disease that was mistaken for polio, they now suggest that the guilty...
Combined Opposition. After that the program faces the opposition of protectionists who have, for the first time in years, combined in support of a single rival bill. Authored by Pennsylvania's Republican Richard Simpson, it is openly designed to gut reciprocal trade. The key battle will come on a motion to send the reciprocal-trade bill back to the Ways & Means Committee, with orders that it approve the Simpson substitute...
