...more than 90% of Clevelanders have received the most important types of virus in their Sabin vaccine-types I and III. But when they get their third portion of Sabin vaccine (type II) in late July, they will have swallowed more than 4,500,000 doses at the modest cost of $750,000. The academy expects that this will be entirely covered by donations (recommended: 25? per dose) from those who were treated. So successful is the campaign that by next winter other cities across the country may well follow Cleveland's style and send out their own well...
Pictures to Doff Hats At. West's climb from poor innkeeper's son to historical painter for King George III is a remarkable success story in itself, but the happiest part of it was West's relationship to his students. When he settled in London after completing his studies in Rome, the art world was turning back to antiquity. The Allentown show includes samples of the writings of Johann Joachim Winckelmann, for it was he who gave the movement its rallying cry: "There is but one way for the moderns to become great, and perhaps unequaled...
Painters to Be Proud Of. West succeeded Sir Joshua Reynolds as second president of the Royal Academy, and though he made no secret of his sympathy for the American Revolution, he retained the friendship of George III for most of his life.

Morse had not the impulse to invent the steamboat and the telegraph taken priority with them. When he died in 1820, a few weeks after George III, the new King, George IV, wanted to banish all his father's Wests to the lumber room of Windsor Castle. He backed down only when another eminent West student intervened. The man was Sir Thomas Lawrence, who in that same year started his own loving portrait of the benign...
...Britton Chance, University of Pennsylvania biophysicist, beautifully handling the .32-11. 6-in. sloop Complex III, the world 5.5-meter sailing championship, by defeating 24 other boats from eleven nations at Poole, England. Though disqualified for colliding with another yacht in the fourth of six races, Chance, who won an Olympic gold medal with his 5.5-meter yacht in 1952, sailed so well in the others (two firsts, a second, a third, a sixth) that he ended with 6.184 points and a margin of more than 400 points over the second-place finisher...
