Last week federal and state disease detectives met in Madison, Wis. to pool their clues. But the clues did not add up to an explanation for the outbreak. Public water supplies and fluid milk had been checked and exonerated. The typhoid could not be blamed on a single cause, such as a single batch of perishable food, because such a source would produce a rash of cases in a small area at about the same time...
...years of caste dies slowly. In most of India's 560,000 villages, untouchables are still forbidden to enter Brahmans' living areas, use their wells, or watch them eat. Temples are theoretically open to them, but they are still purged with milk -floor, walls, ceilings and idols-after the untouchables leave. Untouchables who have turned Christian often find their lot even worse than before.

Ab jauntily downed two glasses of milk, was soon back at the wheel, in all drove for 16 of the 24 hours. Despite a broken patch of track which caused the car to swerve each time around and cost him minutes, Ab got himself another world's record: 2.841 miles at an average speed of 118.37 m.p.h. Then...
...phone call came while Presidential Press Secretary James C. Hagerty was dressing. "Dr. Snyder thinks you'd better get down here right away," said the White House telephone operator. Jim Hagerty managed to gulp a glass of milk and two pieces of toast-and rushed off to two sleepless days of a grueling news marathon. While the drama's main actor lay behind the scenes, Jim Hagerty held the center of the stage, almost the only source of public information on the President's condition until Ike was well out of danger...
