Keating is an affable man with a snowy thatch of hair and a ruddy complexion that he cultivates relentlessly under sun and sun lamp. He was born in Lima, N.Y., in 1900, the son of a grocer. He got his bachelor's degree at the University of Rochester at 19, taught high school Latin and won a law degree at Harvard in 1923. He built a profitable practice in Rochester as a trial lawyer, and in 1946 won at his first try for public office: Congressman from New York's 40th Congressional District. As a member...

U.S. spacemen are looking anxiously over his shoulder for the answers...

With each experiment the Canton-born professor of biochemistry and endocrinology has come closer than any man before him to explaining how the front half of the human pituitary, the body's master gland, controls so many functions through the hormones it manufactures. Because his success represents a singular medical triumph, Dr. Li last week was awarded the $10,000 Albert Lasker Basic Research Award...
Will Latin American nations support the U.S. in firm, direct action against Communist Cuba? Two positions taken last week by the two most populous countries suggested a clear answer: No. Brazil's Prime Minister Hermes Lima told a delegation of Castroites in Rio that Brazil will never support punitive measures against Cuba simply because it has a different regime from other American countries. Mexican President Adolfo Lopez Mateos told a press conference that he did not consider "Cuban subversion" a threat, and that action would be warranted only if another nation were the victim of an ''unprovoked...
