...French paratroops. In her testimony later, Djamila said she was beaten repeatedly. Djamila testified: "They stripped me naked and tied me on a bench, taking care to put damp cloths under the cords that bound me. They then fixed electric contacts to my sexual organs, my ears, my mouth, the palms of my hands, my nipples, and my forehead. At 3 in the morning I fainted. Later, I became delirious. Every time, while one of the paratroopers worked the machine, the others took notes." A month after the alleged tortures, a French doctor examined her and professed to find nothing...
From the pages of newspapers in New York, Los Angeles and Newark last week peered a most unusual cat. Topped by a high-style Emme hat, clenching a long cigarette holder suavely in its mouth, it purred a typically catty message: "I found out about Joan. That palace of theirs has wall-to-wall mortgages. And that car? Darling, that's horsepower, not earning power. They won it in a 50? raffle."

It is still widely used for long-term treatment of thrombosis patients, because it can be given handily by mouth. But the Wisconsin labs have synthesized more than 100 related substances, and one of these, Link suggested, would make a safe and deadly rat poison. He was right. Named warfarin,* it is usually applied to bait grain. Unsuspecting rats keep on eating it, eventually die of internal bleeding...
...objection to using a drug made from rotted clover that killed cattle were more wary of one touted as a rat poison. But warfarin, believes Chemist Link, is the best anticoagulant now available: it can be used in smaller doses than dicoumarin; it can be given by mouth, by injection or rectally. It works fairly rapidly, and an overdose can be promptly canceled with a form of vitamin K. Best testimonial to its safety: Chemist Link disclosed that warfarin is the anticoagulant (unnamed by Press Secretary James Hagerty) that President Eisenhower has been taking since his heart attack...
...Woman. In Springfield, Ohio, Marjorie June Flax drew many admiring male glances in a packed courtroom when she dropped assault-and-battery charges against her husband, said: "It was my fault; if I'd kept my big mouth shut, it wouldn't have happened...
