...flamboyance of a 19th century concert pianist. When too many dancers take the floor in France, the compleat disquaire strikes them into their chairs by playing a French song-recurrent proof of the popular theory that Frenchmen hate their own music. To liven things up, disquaires turn to Ray Charles or a hully-gully by The Cookies...
...gets an indigestible lump of protein in his stomach and may suffer nausea and diarrhea. The lumps have long baffled doctors; they have even been mistaken for kidney tumors, and hasty operations have been performed on the overfed patients. Doctors have now learned to identify the lumps by X ray, and a pair of Louisville physicians, describing the phenomenon of lactobezoar (hardened milk) in the A.M.A. Journal, report a nonsurgical method for dealing with the condition. The prescription is as simple as it is effective: switch to a formula of regular or skimmed milk and the lump will begin...

Despite the growing interest of business in nondestructive testing, Robert C. McMaster, a professor of welding engineering at Ohio State who has developed an X-ray method for testing metals that shows up flaws on a TV screen, complains that the new technology still "means little or nothing to perhaps 99% of U.S. industry." Considering the quality loss caused by less exacting standards, McMaster views industry's reluctance to take up nondestructive testing as "a major tragedy...
