...reporters to meet arriving ships at sea; by the time a ship landed they had already interviewed the passengers for European news. And it was the Herald that sent Stanley after Livingstone. Greeley's Tribune, on the other hand, was urbane, circumspect, and an influential voice in the infant Republican Party-though not so Republican that it could not find room from 1851 to 1861 for a London correspondent named Karl Marx...
Contagious Cuddling. The germs in question comprise the bacteria Shigella and Salmonella along with Escherichia coli, a common cause of infant diarrhea. Since these organisms reproduce slowly by cell division, microbiologists used to think that it would take a long time for drug-resistant strains to multiply and populate a hospital. Not so, indicates recent research. In addition to cell divi sion, these bacteria have a second way of passing on their "R factor" (drug resistance). When they cuddle up close to other bacteria, the R factor is transmitted by means of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), which bears chemical instructions...
...their affluence, the Hestons, their son Fraser, 11 (who played the infant Moses in The Ten Commandments), and adopted daughter, Holly Ann, 5, live sedately in an eight-room house on a ridge high over Coldwater Canyon near Hollywood.

About one-fourth of all dysautonomic children die by age ten, Dr. McKusick reports. After that the death rate mounts steadily; the oldest patient on record is 36. The usual cause of death is the very problem that the infant encounters at first feeding: inhalation of food into the lungs, causing pneumonia, often coupled with heart failure. So far, the best palliative treatment for dysautonomia consists of using tranquilizers to help control the intense vomiting that characterizes the disorder. There is no cure...
...sick-comic school; of suspected narcotics poisoning; in Hollywood. Son of an "exotic dancer," trained as a burlesque comedian. Bruce was never in tune with this world, and he soured totally in the 1950s after his beautiful blonde wife became a drug addict, leaving him with an infant daughter. From Manhattan to Hollywood, he viewed life as a four-letter word and, with gestures, commented blackly on it, never lacking for listeners and finding some curious champions (among them: Theologian Reinhold Niebuhr, Poet Robert Lowell). His path led ever lower after a Manhattan criminal court, in 1964, convicted...
