Reason given by the President was that his infected jaw-from which Commander Arthur H. Yando, White House dentist, extracted a diseased molar last fortnight- was not healing rapidly as it should have.

Name: Australopithecus transvaalensis Broom. One molar which he was able to examine closely showed close affinities to Dryopithecus, a well-known genus of extinct apes. It is from a generalized type of Dryopithecus that most anthropologists believe man evolved...
