...time, the county heart association hopes to check on the heartbeat of all of Taylor County (pop. 80,000). There is a long waiting list for Dr. Adamson's services, and this week he will carry his machine into the public schools. The aim: to make mass heart checkups as commonplace in U.S. cities as TB screening...
...Fearing Butchers. Kashruth can make demands at once difficult and subtle. At Passover, for instance, when leavened foods are prohibited, orthodox Jews must beware of soda pop containing food coloring made from an alcoholic base, which in turn is often manufactured from leavened grain.

After 25 years of pleading, Congress had finally authorized a toll bridge spanning the mile-wide Missouri to connect the two towns. But should they build the bridge over the old or new bed? The Army engineers said to build over the old channel, since...
From his prep school (Choate) to Navy boot training to Princeton, Adlai was followed by his parents' extraordinarily protective love. When, in summer camp, Adlai seemed to be going in for athletics too much, Pop wrote: "I want you to stop this right away. The purpose of your being there [is] to get you in good physical condition so you can have your tonsils removed without any harm." And when Adlai reported that he had taken up smoking, Mother wrote: "My Laddie Boy ... I hope I can show you the futility of getting the tobacco habit." (Today Stevenson...
