RHEUMATIC DISEASES. Ten years' experience has shown that hormones of the cortisone family, while giving temporary relief, often do as much harm as good in rheumatic diseases. But the Mayo Clinic's famed Dr. Philip S. Hench, pioneer (with Chemist Edward Kendall) in the extraction and use of these products, struck out on a bold new line. The natural pituitary hormone ACTH and the cortisone-type drugs, he said, must be viewed not only as remedies, but also as research tools. His new theory, based on observations of thousands of patients: it is neither a simple excess...
...counts on which Judge Charles W. Fricke sentenced Chessman to death were not the sexual assaults, but two offenses under the California kidnaping statute, which makes it a capital offense to "seize" anyone "for ransom, reward or to commit extortion or robbery," if the victim suffers "bodily harm." The prosecution argued, and the jury agreed, that by robbing the woman and the girl, then forcing them into his car and sexually assaulting them, Chessman had committed kidnaping for robbery with bodily harm...
...last week came the climax to one of the most remarkable episodes in U.S. criminal annals. The man thus saved -if perhaps only temporarily-was convicted twelve years ago of 17 felonies and sentenced to death on two of those crimes, both of them kidnaping for robbery, with bodily harm. In itself, the man, his crime and his punishment would scarcely cause a ripple of interest beyond the California state line. Yet, in the days preceding the reprieve, concern for the fate of Caryl Chessman had swept itself into a passionate whirlwind that whipped around the globe, gathered up pleas...
...court records." Clearly no ordinary criminal, Caryl Chessman, grade-school educated, had an IQ of 136, and he argued his own case creditably in court. Nonetheless, he was convicted by a jury under California's "Little Lindbergh Law" (which, like the federal "Lindbergh Law," makes kidnaping with bodily harm a capital offense) and sentenced to die. It was after he was condemned that he began stirring up his astonishing storm. He published three books, one of which, Cell 2455 Death Row, became a bestseller, and all of which, according to his publishers, Prentice-Hall, sold "millions" of copies...
...current calls for corporate statesmanship in price setting, he insists that prices should not be set on the basis of public or political policy, but on the needs of the corporation and what the market will bear -the higher the better. To do otherwise, he says, often does more harm than good: "The new corporate morality may result in prices and wages which sabotage the market mechanism and systematically distort the allocation of resources." Shareholders' Democracy? This new corporate morality is the product of the professional manager, the new type of corporate boss, who has taken over from...
