Refusing to Fade. Surging out of the forest, 1,000 Red troops overran Kienlong in the guerrilla-controlled Camau Peninsula area (see map), killing 60 of the 90 Civil Guard defenders, and publicly disemboweling the district chief, his wife, infant son and two other officials. When the government counterattacked with 2,000 air-supported troops, the guerrillas pulled out of the village. But instead of fading into the landscape, they were reinforced by a third 500-man battalion, making it the Viet Cong's first regimental-size operation. Then the Communists stood and fought half a dozen battles that...
...Stanford's infant (1948) quarterly is high on punchy prose, has broken new ground ever since Volume I probed the legalities of rainmaking in a piece titled "Who Owns the Clouds?" Later it debunked Alger Hiss's contention that a "second" typewriter was used to frame him.

Asked when the infant daughter of Diana Douglas-Home Wolfe-Murray would be christened, Granny Douglas-Home, chuckling at her own fun, replied: "I don't know-she can't be christened until they've got a name for her, can she?" At week's end the Big Problem at 10 Downing Street was resolved...
...prescribed electric shock for jaundice and scarlet fever, purges for the gout, blood transfusions for cases of consumption. His "Commonplace Book" is full of case histories of experiments that failed: a dropsical woman who apparently vomited and died after receiving four doses of "decoction of foxglove"; his own infant daughter who died after Erasmus tried to inoculate her against measles. He was most successful, in fact, when he put his patients on diets of milk, vegetables and fruit and left them alone. His real love was inventing. On paper he devised a water closet, a diving bell, a canal lock...
