...stuttered to an inconclusive close in Paris, Jerusalem was having its first real peace in more than a year. It had come quickly and quietly and without benefit of U.N. orders. Meeting in Jerusalem's white Government House (now a U.N. establishment), officers of Abdullah's Arab Lesion had sat down with their opposite numbers from the Israeli army and in two-days had hammered out the terms of a "permanent" truce. They had also agreed to talk over the chances of a permanent peace. U.N. observers, playing the genial hosts, served countless tiny cups of Turkish coffee...
...taken to "hot cells" with yard-thick concrete walls. There, working with periscopes and tools which reached around corners, chemists would extract the isotopes it contained. All workers wore loose canvas covers over their shoes so that no "hot" particle could lodge in the leather and gnaw a dangerous lesion in their feet. The laboratory tables were topped with three-inch slabs of lead. Neatly stacked lead bricks gave additional protection to workers...

The Army's new rehabilitation program with its graduated exercises...
Each of Dr. Mahoney's patients was given an injection of 25,000 units of penicillin in the buttock muscles every four hours. Each received 48 injections. After 16 hours of treatment, the corkscrew-shaped spirochetes no longer showed up under the microscope in serum from the lesion. Dr. Mahoney was "stunned"; this is the first case on record in which penicillin has killed spirochetes, a higher form of life than bacilli. Yet the patients had no bad reaction from the injections...
