Died. Dr. Paul Schwarzkopf, 84, noted Austrian metallurgist who fled to the U.S. after the 1938 Anschluss and later aided the Allied war effort; in Reutte, Austria. A pioneer in powder metallurgy (a method of producing metal parts without melting the components), Schwarzkopf developed techniques that allowed the U.S. to overcome a shortage of pure iron during World War II and produce millions of parts for field telephones and similar instruments. Among his other discoveries was tungsten carbide, a substance so hard that it has all but displaced diamonds as drill bits...

In New York, researchers found that the wart count among some schoolchildren declined dramatically after doctors painted the growths with a bright vegetable dye. Dr. Goldman has tried an even more mystical method. He asks suggestible children to send him a detailed tracing of the wart-covered hand or foot. Then he burns the diagram and tells the youngsters that their warts will disappear in a few weeks. They usually...
