Recently, Dr. Dick visited Moscow. Dr. Antonina K. Shubladze (TiME, Nov. 11), co-discoverer of the controversial vaccine, went over his data. Last week readers of the British Medical Journal were treated to the unusual spectacle of a public, nonpolitical recantation by a Russian scientist. Said a letter from Moscow: "It is clearly necessary to reinvestigate . . . this virus, for recent experiments have shown that [it] is similar to rabies virus. As far as treatment ... is concerned, it is not possible to make any further recommendation until reinvestigations have been made." The letter's co-signers: Dick and Shubladze...
When people lose all desire to eat, for no apparent physical or emotional cause, doctors call it anorexia nervosa (nervous lack of appetite). For three generations they have argued about how best to treat it, with recent opinion favoring an analytic type of psychiatry. Now in the British Medical Journal, a brusque, no-nonsense Welshman indicates that it is time to boot the psychiatrists out and pump the patient full of food. His simple reasoning: the only treatable aspect of the baffling disorder is starvation, and the cure for starvation is food...
...Island Advance for $98,000 in 1922. Since then, short (5 ft. 3 in.), stocky Samuel Irving Newhouse, 63, the son of a Russian immigrant, has strung together an empire of 13 newspapers. Among them: the Newark Star-Ledger, St. Louis Globe-Democrat, Portland Oregonian, Birmingham News, Syracuse Herald-Journal and Post-Standard. The prosperous Newhouse chain is surpassed in heft and wealth only by Scripps-Howard (21 papers) and Hearst...
...registered Democrat, Newhouse is an empire builder who believes in local autonomy. He usually keeps a paper's original editorial team, makes no effort to influence his papers' political opinions; e.g., in Syracuse his morning Post-Standard (circ. 103,694) is Republican and his afternoon Her aid-Journal (circ. 132,387) is Independent Democratic. Without pretense of being an editorial man, he demands competent reporting and clean writing. He keeps a sharp eye on the budget, but is apt to increase editorial funds in the hope of returns in the form of added circulation...
...salaam to the Little Woman and her big roller pin, committed the ultimate betrayal of privacy every TV evening: the advertising grab-bag of under-arm deodorants, living bras, toilet tissue, toe-nail paint, perfume, mouthwash, and the Potato Sack look. Sex was the province of the Ladies Home Journal. Dr. Spock replaced the Bible. Bohemia in pink panties was more organized nymphomania than Art. Greenwich Village was overrun with mop-headed, turtle-necked, tweed-wrapped, smudge-faced, and beer-reeking femmes fatale, with Wallace Stevens under one arm and Well of Loneliness under the other...
