...Cutter question seemed finally answered. It was a rash of polio cases following use of Cutter vaccine that had first halted the vaccination program. For weeks, experts have broadly suggested that some live virus must have slipped through the killing and testing process in the manufacture of the Cutter product. Last week, for the first time, a virologist flatly asserted that he had found live virus in Cutter specimens. He was Dr. Louis P. Gebhardt, professor of bacteriology and director of the polio research laboratory at the University of Utah. The chilling thought, of course, was that what happened...
...Before single-strain vaccines (representing each of the three main types of polio virus) are mixed to form the triple-threat end product, there must be more tests, using much larger volumes of material. Formerly, one-tenth of 1% of each strain was taken for testing; now, a minimum of 500 cc. must be used-a tenfold increase for a firm making vaccine in lots of 150,000 cc., and probably some increase for all manufacturers...

Still in her late twenties, and the product of a college writing class (State University of Iowa), Georgia's Flannery O'Connor has already learned to strip the acres of clay-country individuality with the merciless efficiency of a cotton-picking machine. She can also slash through the window boxes and buckthorn hedges and expose the peckernecks who have moved to town and put on pretensions. Her instruments are a brutal irony, a slam-bang humor and a style of writing...
