...attempt to develop an El Tor vaccine, but the need for it in U.S. forces is not clearly defined. Although El Tor is now established among the civilians of South Viet Nam, there has not been a single case among U.S. forces. This relative safety comes partly from luck, the medics concede, and partly from the fact that the old-fashioned vaccine they are now using seems to confer some protection against El Tor. The most important reason, say the doctors, is that cholera, like smallpox, rarely takes hold unless its victim is debilitated...
Conditions for Savagery. With delaying tactics in the Diet and demonstrations in the streets, the leftists hoped to paralyze the government and pull down Sato just as they had his brother, ex-Premier Nobusuke Kishi, after the 1960 Japan-U.S. Security Treaty was signed. No such luck, for this time the Japanese public simply was not responding to the leftists' highly indignant cries. For one thing, it was all too obvious that the treaty with Korea, which restores relations between the Asian neighbors for the first time since World War II, has no military clauses.

Writing in Izvestia's Sunday magazine last week, Journalist Lev Lyubimov revealed that the Russian government is pondering a plan to resolve the Alexandrian mystery once and for all.

Clever Ape. His luck finally turned when his work struck the fancy of Danny Thomas, who made him the director of his show, later elevated him to coproducer. The fat years, when they came, were obese. He has made and sold eleven pilot films, now sells shows on his name alone, without bothering to film a trial episode. His 1965 income for the first nine months...
Also, through a stroke of luck, we lost some of our most dedicated rooters. The neighbor of one of the women connected with the Radcliffe gym has season tickets on the fifty yard line, which were generously donated to about six of our staunchest supporters. Ordinarily, this would be fine--we could see them and they could hear us and maybe their enthusiasm would be contagious. BUT, the seats were on the side of the field where the players sit; directly in back of the Boston bench, in fact...
