...conked out and couldn't be repaired during the war, tousle-haired Biochemist John Vaichulis began looking around Illinois' Manteno State Mental Hospital for some other project to keep him busy. In one building on Manteno's grounds he found a group of patients who were never allowed to mix with other patients. They were the country's largest concentration of typhoid carriers, the backwash of a 1939 epidemic which swept Manteno, plus patients sent from other Illinois state hospitals to be isolated...
...Protestantism has never yet spoken with a single journalistic voice, but for years many church leaders have dreamed of a newspaper for all Protestants. Last week 150 Protestant churchmen met in Kansas City to do something about it. During three days of deliberation, they announced plans to buy the small, interdenominational Protestant Voice (circ. 29,500), and turn it into a weekly newspaper.

The U.S. has never had an organization quite like the Lyceum-until this week...
...learned what the Captain was after. He loathed the traditional law-school curriculum in which each course is a separate package, bound by the particular textbook cases at hand. He wanted to force a student to draw upon his entire knowledge of law. For all their sufferings, his students never regretted the hours they spent under the peppery little man who insisted that they look beyond their case books and think for themselves...
