...relaxing), Anne Ford (honeymooning) and ex-Mayor Wagner (recuperating). Last week the chic league was further congested by Italian Designer Emilio Pucci, who arrived bringing the season's first rainstorm and leading a glossy swirl of journalists and society's beautiful people-Mary Cushing, Caterine Milinaire, Aurora Hitchcock-on a swinging junket to celebrate his new perfume, Vivara. All of this, on top of a regular tourist season that will probably see 1,560,000 visitors stream in and out of a resort town of 100,000, has Acapulco full to bursting, with hotels now booked through March...
...This is worse than a Hitchcock movie," muttered the Frenchman. But no one was listening. Huddled in a dingy back room of Carnegie Hall last week, the seven finalists in the Dimitri Mitropoulos International Music Competition were wrapped in a cocoon of suspense, nervously awaiting the verdict of the judges. The Czech stared vacant-eyed at the wall; the Japanese seemed mesmerized by his feet. The German bustled around the room collecting autographs.

They report that 50 have minimal ulcer pain remaining, and 13 have none-a satisfactory result rate of only 37%. No fewer than 71 of the patients still suffer pain, 37 more eventually had to have part of their stomachs removed, and one died from a gastric-ulcer perforation...
...been some serious complications, including two perforating gastric ulcers. But of 71 recent patients, most of them followed for 18 months, only five have needed surgery, while 26 others still have intermittent ulcer pain. The satisfactory result rate is 51 % . One reason for the difference between his record and Hitchcock's, said Dr. Wangensteen, is that his team now uses liquid that is supercooled to - 40°F. when it enters the tube on its way to the stomach. This chills the stomach wall itself for six or seven minutes to 13°F.-far below freezing. Then...
