Thus does famed Pediatrician Benjamin Spock describe his own childhood in his new book, Feeding Your Baby and Child, written with Nutritionist Miriam E. Lowenberg (Duell, Sloan & Pearce; $3.75). Young Ben Spock's individual difficulties with food were the commonest kind: he was "something of a feeding problem," "very squeamish about lumps in cereal and scum on cocoa," and could not eat summer squash for 35 years because his mother forced it down him at the age of five...
Boil It Down. Yet another change, in the method of manufacture, was recommended by Pediatrician Joseph Stokes Jr. He was worried about the random sampling in huge lots of vaccine. Philadelphia's Children's Hospital has a method, he said, of reducing seven or eight gallons of virus solution down to half a teaspoonful or less-99% pure virus. This can be inactivated and tested far more readily. So why not concentrate the stuff? He got no immediate answer, but P.H.S. and Dr. Salk are studying...

But Ramon Villeda Morales, a socially prominent pediatrician and a pro-U.S. liberal, got 48% of the vote. Because he missed an absolute majority, a newly elected Congress must choose the next President, but the talk of revolt dwindled rapidly in the face of such a clear verdict. Hondurans, whose history lists 134 revolutions in 130 years, pinched...
