Adlai had been toying with his H-bomb notions since last April when, in the midst of his campaign for the Democratic nomination, he said: "I believe we should give prompt and earnest consideration to stopping further tests of the hydrogen bomb." In subsequent speeches and statements he declared his hope that, once the U.S. set the example, the Russians might follow suit. If they refused, the U.S. could detect the violation (by-air samplings) and then "reconsider its policy...
...Stoppage of the heart on the operating table is probably the commonest cause of death during surgery. Prompt and heroic repair measures are often reported, but Drs. K. William Edmark and Henry N. Harkins of the University of Washington outlined something better-a way to anticipate and thus prevent the stoppage before it happens.

The same electrodes can be used to give the faltering heart an electrical...

But newsmen with Stevenson travel in a separate plane, get less access to the candidate than those with Nixon and Kefauver...
...week's end, cagey Enrico de Nicola was still keeping his own counsel. Most Italians were betting, though, that: 1) he would soon be back on the job; 2) future Constitutional Court decisions would get prompt compliance from the government...
