...takes up specific cases with a hue and cry, like that of Crichel Down, where a farmer defied the War Department's right in time of peace to hold onto land commandeered in time of war. or pleads for a Mrs. Christos, who went to jail for earning milk money for her children while on the dole (TIME, June 15). But often an M.P. has either too much work or not enough spunk to see an issue through, and the press is quick to shift to fresher news...
...cause other tumors in birds and lower animals. But the gap between them and man seemed unbridgeable. Then the University of Minnesota's Dr. John J. Bittner showed that breast cancer in certain mice is transmitted by a factor, now accepted as a virus, in mouse mothers' milk.

...Cold Fish. Maybe one of Dick Nixon's troubles is that he is too perfect. His God-fearing parents of modest means, the excellence of his record in school, his beginnings as a lawyer in Whittier (known as "Ye Friendly Town"), and his liking for pineapple milk shakes are all almost too good to be true. He has an amazing degree of self-control and neatness-the secretary of his old Whittier law firm recalls that when he came to work, the first thing he did was to take several hundred books off the shelves to dust them...
