...inoculated, had telling figures: the paralytic-polio rate among the unvaccinated was 21 per 100,000, but only four per 100,000 among the vaccinated. In nonparalytic polio, the protection ratio was only about 3 to 2, but final returns were expected to show that the disease had been milder, on the average, in vaccinated children. Chicago was unofficially reported to have had only two cases of paralytic polio per 100,000 among the vaccinated, as compared with 32 among the unvaccinated...

The others, with some individual variants, favored Eden's plan, which would swap the offshore islands and U.N. recognition of Red China for a cease-fire and Communist acceptance of a neutralized Formosa...
Jung's influence in psychiatric practice, though often unacknowledged, has been conceded by the late A. A. Brill, leading U.S. Freudian, who called him "the pioneer psychoanalyst in psychiatry." Freud thought that analysis was useful only in the milder forms of emotional illness (neurosis). Jung was among the first to use it to interpret schizophrenia, commonest of the most serious psychoses (which fills 300,000 hospital beds...
