...Good Heart and a Light Hand (Turnpike Press, $3) contains recipes for everything from possum casserole to potato wine, and is selling at the rate of 1,000 copies a month. The other, Soul Food Cookery, by a black public relations woman in Kansas City named Inez Kaiser (Pitman, $3.95), has 266 carefully indexed recipes that include "soul" sandwiches and "soul" TV snacks...
...press on a global scale, John C. Merrill, a professor of journalism at the University of Missouri, nonetheless contends that the number of "serious, intellectually oriented journals with cosmopolitan outlooks" is growing steadily. They constitute what he calls "the elite press," and that is the title of his book (Pitman; $7.95). Merrill not only ticks off the top newspapers by name, but also ranks 100 of them in descending degrees to form the "Merrill Elite Press Pyramid...
...manned 36 clinics, mostly in schools. In the larger centers, they were armed with high-pressure air guns to squirt a dose of vaccine through the skin of a child's arm so fast that he could hardly feel it. Smaller centers used conventional hypodermic needles. The vaccine, Pitman-Moore's attenuated, live-virus form (TIME, Feb. 19), was free, but parents, who were asked to drop a token quarter into a donation box, contributed $8,256.68, or 26? a shot...
Live & Dead. Hope for wholesale measles shots has just been boosted by the announcement that Indianapolis' Pitman-Moore Division of the Dow Chemical Co. has now begun to market a one-shot vaccine that is expected to give lifelong immunity. The virus used in the new vaccine is derived from the famed Edmonston strain used by Harvard's Nobel-prizewinning Virologist John F. Enders (TIME Cover, Nov. 17, 1961), but new research has added many advantages. When the attenuated virus in Enders' vaccine remained strong enough to give the required immunity, it was also strong enough to give many children...
Never Twice. The Pitman-Moore vaccine offers a way out of the dilemma. After nurturing scores of "generations" of Enders' bug, Dr. Anton J. F. Schwarz now grows the final product in cultures of cells from virus-free eggs. When injected into a child, it causes no rash or fever; the Public Health Service's hypercritical Division of Biologies Standards is satisfied that the vaccine contains no contaminating viruses. New York University's Dr. Saul Krugman reports that 2½ years of testing indicate that one injection confers just as solid immunity as the natural disease. "That means it should...
