...polio vaccine program was hopelessly bogged down. Supplies of double-checked vaccine were running out even faster than the sands of time remaining before schoolterm's end and the height of the epidemic season. The Public Health Service was not releasing any newly made vaccine. Last week it was not even releasing rechecked vaccine on hand, made by two manufacturers (Pitman-Moore Co. and Wyeth Inc.).

Painter Hultberg, who once studied with two leaders of the school, Clyfford Still and Mark Rothko, was among the first to rebel against it. While the fad was still at its height, he walked Manhattan's 57th Street with his canvases under his arm, vainly trying to interest the dealers in his own new approach to painting.
