...Salk vaccine had nothing to do with most of the improvement in the figures, because only a small proportion of potential victims received it-and many of these got only one injection, of doubtful efficacy. However, the vaccine proved its usefulness: the drop in epidemic severity was much more marked in the 7,000,000 inoculated in the 5-to-9 age groups than among non-inoculated-25% to 50% fewer cases. On the strength of these figures-and with prospects for improved, safer vaccine-Crusader Basil O'Connor of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis predicted that...
...Mickey Mantle, hitless all day, slammed a screamer off Dropo's foot and raced all the way to second. It seemed a wasted effort. Joe Collins flied out, and Hank Bauer walloped a long fly to left. Minnie Minoso had a bead on the ball, got both hands on it-and suddenly it was bouncing behind him for another unbelievable error. Mantle was home, and the Yankees were still alive...

[But] the new God-bit is more serious. It is the identification of our national cause, our needs, our ends-conceived in political...
...sure that the state has recourse in its own courts, the bonding company must have an agent who lives in Indiana. Most knowing contractors will ask the Toll Road Commission for advice on selecting the agent. Says Director Wedeking with Indiana frankness "If they ask our advice, we give it-and if somebody has been running around the state condemning the governor, we forget he's in business." One big commission went to Linn Kidd, an insurance man who was one of George Craig's first political backers. A wise politician, Kidd decided to let others share...
