...Soon to Say Cured. The betatron's first patient, Fordyce Hotchkiss (TIME, Dec. 19, 1949), died last month of a coronary thrombosis. The cancer in his throat appeared to have healed completely. However, Hotchkiss' cancer had started to spread before he began the treatments, and the areas affected later could not be treated by the betatron because of the danger of overdosing his neck.

...divisions-seven on occupation duty in Germany (two U.S., two British, three French), four in France, one in Belgium, and the equivalent of about three divisions in Italy. Some of these are next to worthless, almost all are underequipped. Some French units are armed with aged Hotchkiss machine guns saved from World War I. Italian soldiers have 1891 Mannlicher-Carcano rifles which as long ago as 1915 they called "humanitarian rifles" because they usually missed the enemy...
