Today some 30 physicians syndicate medical columns, touching on just about every medical specialty but do-it -yourself surgery. Hundreds more, such as the New York Time's Dr. Howark A Rusk a practicing authority on rehabilitation of the handicapped, confined their practice to the home-town paper.

Humphrey was a founder of A.D.A., and until last week a vice chairman. He resigned that office, but retained his membership. "I think we have made some headway," cried Miller. "Hubert Humphrey at long last has finally resigned as vice chairman of A.D.A. Maybe he will resign as vice-presidential candidate of the Democratic Party...
...opening day in Washington, and the home-town Senators were well on their way to their first defeat of the baseball season. At the end of the third inning, an announcement blared forth from the public-address system: "Attention, please, there has been a quorum call in the United States Senate.
