Lingering Hunger. The subcommittees are understandably perplexed about why, despite U.S. agricultural abundance and food-relief programs, some Americans still go hungry. It was the Senate group, chaired by Pennsylvania Democrat Joseph Clark, that visited the Mississippi Delta in April and reported "emergency" hunger conditions. The following month, in a survey commissioned by the Field Foundation, a team of physicians examined more than 600 Mississippi Negro children and found "obvious evidence of severe malnutrition." Two weeks ago, Freeman undertook his own "look, learn and listen" excursion to Mississippi and Alabama as part of a four-state tour to study rural...
...Noel Albertson, the drug has the chemical name pentazocine and is trade-named Talwin.

He was only the seventh Senator in 178 years to be formally condemned by his colleagues...
...eggs are swept into the liver and other organs. They cause irritation and scarring in the liver (which leads to enlargement of the spleen), intestinal damage, bleeding from the esophagus, stunting of growth, anemia and blood in the urine. Though surgery to remove the spleen gives the patient some relief, it does not eliminate the flukes, which go right on laying eggs...
