...Root of the trouble in Houston was painfully clear. The wealthy city has had $12 million moldering for almost ten years because politicians and doctors could not agree on where and how to build a new hospital. Meanwhile, Jefferson Davis has been crowded to the rafters, running 15,000 patients a year through its 361 beds and 3,800 babies in and out of its 75 bassinets. When its 41 maternity beds were full, mothers were crowded in the halls. Into rooms for four beds, six were squeezed. As many as four patients were simultaneously examined in tiny rooms with...
...useful class of books by those who, concerned with the suppression of Communism, look at it from the outside. Hoover has written a primer-in a sense a how-to-do-them-down-yourself book. It does not claim the philosophic depth of Theodore Draper's The Roots of American Communism (TIME, March 18, 1957), which argued that the party was to some extent a native heresy grafted onto the root stock of American radicalism, but it is valuable as a sober piece of accountancy by an official whose job, among others, is to help protect federal property -including...

It is not -as yet, at least-the result of any great relative superiority of one nation's science over the other's. At the root this Congress must-before it does much else-decide which approach is correct...
...Tory Prime Minister. His sponsorship of the British plan for a free trade area embracing all Western Europe (TIME, Jan. 28) earned him a reputation for vision; he won the admiration of Britain's business community by his unflinching fight against the domestic inflation that lies at the root of Britain's economic difficulties. Early last week the Times of London gave Prime Minister Harold Macmillan high marks for "coolly and firmly backing a courageous Chancellor of the Exchequer." But even as subscribers were reading these flattering words over their morning tea, Peter Thorneycroft had ceased...
