...relatively irrelevant matter. The issue is oral Type III. All vaccine batches are brewed separately by types, and samples are sent to the PHS's Division of Biologies Standards for testing of safety and potency. The toughest safety test is to inject vaccine directly into the brains of monkeys. If autopsies show any appreciable virus damage to the monkeys' nerve centers, PHS orders the vaccine discarded. Type I vaccine has already passed this rigorous test the required five times; Type II is nearing the finish line. But for reasons unknown, Type III vaccine, from all manufacturers...

He treats the space race between Russia and the U.S. with barbell scorn: a monkey up a tree demands of its space-suited companion back from a quick zip through the firmament, "Where the hell have you been?" Ranging across the world for targets, he aims at many, misses few. Mauldin's Khrushchev stands in the U.N., a squat, solitary and ridiculous figure with...
...surprise with a .299 average, 18 home runs, 55 runs batted in. Sober, balding Eddie Kasko developed into one of the most reliable shortstops around. At third, Freese. reputed to be a weak glove man, was fielding, as Pittsburgh Manager Danny Murtaugh put it, "like he had a monkey gland...
