...rash of newspaper ads and lecture tours, white South Africans are putting forth their country's inducements: job opportunities, a sunny climate, a bountiful subsidy to help pay travel and settling-in costs for the white newcomers. But the government faces an impossible task in its goal of gaining 40,000 additional whites a year, for the number of people who emigrate from South Africa each year, out of disillusion or fear, almost balances the number of immigrants. Last year there were 16,319 newcomers as against 14,392 emigrants, leaving a narrow net gain of only...

The baby had apparently never been scratched by the family kitten, but Dr. Snyder concluded that the lump in his neck was his thymus gland, swollen by a cat-scratch infection that had probably penetrated the skin through a rash.

...York, scene of the disaster, Manhattan papers scrambled to make up for lost time. The Times crammed 14 stories and 250 column inches on the slump into a single issue.

Crime was indeed up in the city for the first quarter of 1962, but most of the increase could be accounted for by a rash of parking-meter hoists and car boosts (filching from unlocked cars). And as a matter of fact, "street crimes"-which include purse snatches-actually dropped in April. "Contrary to recent newspaper accounts, San Francisco is not experiencing a crime wave," reported a grand jury flatly, as it took official notice of the whipped-up wave-a circulation-grabbing stunt that is as old as journalism itself. As for San Francisco's papers, they barely...
