From the 18-story tower building of the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson went home last week, remarkably recovered after a severe heart attack.

(It turned out that he did not need any.) Almost any time a Washington VIP needs medical attention, one of the two big military hospitals is likely to be picked for his care.

In other words, the Concentration would accept Fanfani's program not because they approved it, but because they were sure the minor coalition parties would not. And this would mean the end of Scelba...
...televised the removal of a tumor from a woman's breast. The camera was a straightforward reporter, blinking its impersonal eye at nothing. The sober absence of melodramatics intensified the drama of the operation. The TV audience knew that this was the real thing, taking place at Walter Reed Hospital, Washington, D.C. Viewers were also told that if the tumor proved malignant, the operation would continue with the removal of the unidentified woman's breast...
