...moved to a new hospital wing where, to guard him against an infection such as that which killed Washkansky, he was as isolated as antiseptic ingenuity could make him. Doctors and nurses en tering his room had first to undress in one antechamber, then scrub, then mask and robe themselves in sterile garments. Warned by experience that they might have overtreated Patient Washkansky, the doctors were giving Blaiberg fewer immunosuppressive drugs and in smaller doses.

He had walked to New York in the Boston to Washington peace march which left here March 25 and is scheduled to arrive at the Pentagon May 8. "We are going to launch the yellow submarine," he explained. Many young people wore buttons with the yellow submarine sprouting daffodils out its periscope. It is becoming a symbol of the youth peace movement. "Peace with Beatles power" was a popular slogan. And everyone in the meadow clutched a yellow daffodil...
