...Holy Terrors is as good an example of his method as one could ask. It is beyond question a literary tour de force. It is the story of a beautiful brother and sister, who, orphaned in adolescence, sink deeper and deeper into an ingrown world of dreams until they destroy themselves and the friends whom they fascinate. The psychological intricacies of this tale and the plausibilities of Cocteau's conclusions are interesting subjects for the discussions of many Cambridge types. But the clinical validity of the book has little bearing on its artistic stature...
Very good indeed, holds one school, led by Henry Welch, a microbiologist with the Food and Drug Administration. Dr. Welch and some physicians insist that treatment with combinations is no "oldfashioned 'shotgun' approach, but a calculated, rational method of attacking the problem of resistant organisms...
...July 1) his project for a forceful, unorthodox treatment of schizophrenic patients. He is getting results, claims Psychiatrist Scher, by being stern with schizophrenics, making them work, and forcing them into social situations (usually with the aid of relatives). It was too soon to judge whether Scher's method had any value (similar techniques have previously been tried and found wanting). In any case, he violated all the rules of the psychiatric club by taking his protest outside the institute's massive brick walls (by way of the patients' families) to Congressmen and to Secretary Marion Folsom...
...TIME, April 1) is developing its own process, using patents from the Esso Research & Engineering Co. It was petroleum scientists who first learned how to extract hydrogen cheaply from natural gas or petroleum, and also how to use gas pressures from below to smelt ore. This "fluidized bed" method of ore-handling is used by all direct-reduction processes except the R-N method. ¶Hydrocarbon Research. Inc. and Bethlehem Steel have developed and extensively tested their "H-Iron" process. This process has the unique distinction of being the only one on which detailed cost figures have so far been...
There are some disadvantages to the direct-reduction method. It does not remove as many impurities as a blast furnace, thus may necessitate more processing of low-grade ores. But with certain types of fine ores that mills are starting to use, it works better. Steelmen believe that most of the bugs in the direct-reduction method will be worked out in a year or so, and then one of the major companies may take the plunge and build a big plant. The first one would probably be built in the South or West, where the absence or high cost...
