...uses his column as a springboard to bounce quips off." He was unfair, they said, to compare today's programing with the show spectrum of the Weaver era, since ABC had meanwhile emerged as a third major network, and it was competitively necessary to match its frank and potent mediocrities. What really bothered the NBC brass was not Crosby's charge of mediocrity but his suggestion that the network is not making money. As part of the parent RCA, NBC's profit-loss figures are never released, but management insisted that NBC as a whole is doing...
...last week, BRL 1241 had acquired two trade names (one each for Britain and the U.S.)-Celbenin and Staphcillin -and was ready for market. A synthesized, chemically produced penicillin, developed mainly under the direction of four British doctors, all under 40, the new drug promises to become a potent weapon in the frustrating fight against staphylococcal infections. In U.S. clinical tests, Staphcillin proved effective against penicillin-resistant staph strains in nearly nine out of ten cases.

We are a pastoral people, and we do not want our highland grazing areas taken from...
Assisted by local surgeons, the doctors treated sinus cancer by cutting into the external carotid artery, inserting a thin polyethylene tube, and stitching it in place. They hooked this up to an infusion bottle and a pump, which delivered a quart of saline solution every 24 hours. So potent is the drug that this volume contained only one six-hundredth of an ounce of Methotrexate. Every six hours, a nurse gave an intramuscular injection of CF. For women with cervical cancer, polyethylene tubes are set in arteries on both sides of the lower abdomen...
