Suburbanites who once read two metropolitan dailies-morning and afternoon-now tend to drop the afternoon in favor of the suburban daily. In fast-growing Cobb County, 15 miles northwest of Atlanta, people often bypass the afternoon Atlanta Journal for the local Marietta Journal, which generally runs as much national and international news as the Atlanta paper does, and much more Cobb County news. "We try to assume there are no Detroit papers," says Mark McKee, vice president of the suburban Macomb Daily, which enjoyed a circulation jump from 15,000 to 40,000 during the 134-day Detroit newspaper...
...over the country concern about measles is increasing. At the research level, physicians and other virologists have long been puzzled about how and when the measles virus attacks the brain, as it does in an estimated 4,000 U.S. cases of encephalitis each year. Last week, in the Journal of the A.M.A., a team of U.C.L.A. pediatricians reported finding traces of the virus in the nervous system during the active, red-rash phase of the disease. The discovery casts doubt on the idea that encephalitis is an aftereffect, and it lends a sense of urgency to the preventive campaigns...
Last week, in the New England Journal of Medicine, Dr. Achs and Dr. Rita Harper ran the number of palm-printed abnormalities up to 20. And although most such disorders involve chromosomal defects determined at the moment of conception, the latest implicated a viral disease. To get clear prints from the hands of tiny, squirming infants, Dr. Achs and her colleagues found that the policeman's inkpad and fingerprint technique would not do; instead they used a direct photographic method developed by New York's Philips Laboratories. The babies' palms were pressed against a prism so that...
Bland Tradition. Now Professor Claude R. Hitchcock, a member of Dr. Wangensteen's own surgery faculty, reports that the Wangensteen treatment is not much good. At best, says Dr. Hitchcock in the Journal of the A.M.A., it is no better than traditional medical management of duodenal ulcers-meaning antacid pills and a bland diet...
Threadbare Tires. A onetime editor of the Daily Princetonian, Ridgeway, 29, put in a stint on the Wall Street Journal before coming to the New Republic. He makes sure that he ge'ts his facts correct and avoids the doctrinaire "New Left" politics that fills much of the rest of the magazine. "I don't think things should be cast in black and white," he says. "These subjects are complicated and difficult to get at. What I want to do is take a point of view that is unreported and provide people with that different perspective...
