...often do people get sick? The U.S. Public Health Service gave an answer last week when it reported on its survey of the nation's health in the twelvemonth ended June 30, made by sending investigators to a cross-section sample of 36,000 homes in 330 areas, checking on 115,000 individuals (TIME, May 20, 1957). The findings, extended to the whole U.S. population: ¶ Illnesses and injuries severe enough to require medical attention or keep the victim at home totaled 437,886,000, an average of 2.6 for every American. ¶ The weaker sex was only slightly...
...popularity of psychoanalysis since the early 19305, especially in the U.S.: "Here is a middle class for whom life has lost meaning . . . Yet they are in search of a meaning, of an idea to devote themselves to, of an explanation of life which does not require faith or sacrifice." Often, he adds, patients "are much less concerned with being cured than with the exhilarating sensation of having found a spiritual home...
True in feeling, Requiem is sometimes hollow in logic. Temple's behavior is baffling except in terms of innate depravity. Nancy's sinner-into-saint switch is an abuse of poetic license.

...barbaric violence, yet unfolds with the stylized gravity of ballet. Rashomon is rich in theater craft-Jo Mielziner's doom-dappled lighting, Laurence Rosenthal's eerily instrumented score, Oliver Messel's turntable forest of disenchantment. Apart from a U.N.-like babel of accents, the brilliant cast often achieves a triumph of mime over matter. Radiant, in white kimono, as netted moonlight, Claire Bloom is part lotus flower, part flower of evil. Noel Willman's samurai is a bred-in-the-bone aristocrat, and Rod Steiger's bandit a bite-to-the-bone outlaw...
Though initial transportation costs are often much higher than rail or truck, the savings in time, warehousing, handling, inventory and other costs more than make up the difference in many cases. American turned Armour & Co.'s pharmaceutical division into a regular customer by showing it how to reduce costs $100,000 annually by shipping drugs air freight to a five-state area. For many of the same reasons, Burroughs Corp. has started shipping computers by air and figured a $245.43 net gain on shipping a 1,640-lb. computer from Detroit to Los Angeles...
