...Scramble. Mutiny, once started, is infectious. Like survivors in a leaky lifeboat, everyone suddenly wanted to share in the scramble for control. The Cao Dai, Hoa Hao and Binh Xuyen sects, who together control 40,000 soldiers, withdrew their support from Premier Diem, rallied to Hinh's side and demanded representation in Diem's government. At week's end Diem was still in the palace guarded by his partisans; Hinh was at his headquarters, guarded by his tanks. Diem denounced Hinh as a rebel. Hinh answered: "All we have left is a choice between two solutions...
...seemed that such luxuries had gone to the heads of some of the labor heroes: the Red press was full of warnings to the pampered patriots. Peking's People's Daily chided Labor Hero Wang Chung-hao, a Manchurian, who "became so arrogant and lazy, following his being named a labor hero, that his team subsequently turned in a very miserable result."

Li and Yen, who had not been informed in time that the Gimo...
Another First. Dr. Choh Hao Li, 36-year-old Chinese-born University of California biochemist, reported success in isolating for the first time the sex hormone FSH (for follicle-stimulating hormone). In the female, FSH stimulates the growth of follicles in the ovary and makes ovulation possible; in the male, it stimulates tubules in the testes that produce sperm. Dr. Li isolated it from the pituitary glands of freshly killed sheep. Since other researchers were looking for it, too, Dr. Li says: "I was damn lucky. I hit on the right method." With the same sort of "luck...
...photographers. The Premier was flanked by two of his "policymaking" ministers without portfolio-swarthy ex-Premier Chang Chun and puckish General Chang Chih-chung, both outspoken advocates of peace (and presumably coalition) with the Communists. Temporarily absent were two other policymakers-Sun's predecessor, Geologist Wong Wen-hao, and Conservative Chen Li-fu, chief whipping boy of Communist propagandists...
