...founding of the SED, said the pamphlet, was "the darkest day in the German workers' movement." It solemnly warned: "Whoever tries to make a pact with Communists will perish doing so ... Whoever lets the Communists have his little finger will lose his whole hand . . . Whoever tries to remain neutral towards Communism gives himself...
...Russians blundered, and it will always be a source of wonder why they did or how they could. They should have been prepared for firmness and bluntness in an atmosphere of correct and polite welcome. The fact that Khrushchev lost his temper several times, antagonized his hosts, alarmed neutral opinion everywhere, and set back the Communist campaigns for popular fronts with Socialists proves that the Russians were not prepared for the reception they received...
Last week Dr. Ernest L. Wynder of Manhattan's Sloan-Kettering Institute and the University of Toronto's Dr. George Wright told fellow experts in Atlantic City that they had separated the tar (by machine-smoking tons of cigarettes) into acid, alkaline and neutral portions.

Isolated and applied to mice in the laboratory, it produced many cancers. Although it constitutes only 1½% of the tar, the dangerous material contains many different chemical compounds, including a number...

Doctors in the U.S. look at the same reports (supposedly scientific, and therefore objective) and sneer: it's no good. In this crossfire the British stayed neutral for years, finally started a searching BCG test of their own. Their conclusion, after five years of a continuing study: BCG is at least effective in preventing TB among teenagers (the most susceptible group) in industrial England...
