Like the nine other hopheads in the roundup, Peggy agreed to let Dr. Hogness go to work. For the first three days of the seven-day course he gave the ACTH intravenously, then switched to muscle injections. Peggy's response was spectacular. Though profuse sweating, cramps, headaches, diarrhea and vomiting usually occur during withdrawal, Peggy suffered from none of these. Her baby was born and showed no sign of addiction...
...happened. So far, the worries have been groundless; TV news programs have added little to the technique of reporting, have often been no better than radio newscasts-and sometimes not as good. Last week, in an effort to change all that, NBC launched an ambitious, two-hour global news roundup -with records and special events thrown in-called Today (Monday through Friday; 7-9 a.m. E.S.T...
...undertook the ride not purely in the spirit of adventure," Grunwald wrote with lavish understatement, "but because it offered the only means of transportation to a reindeer roundup that I wanted very much to see.

...organization as yet, and Cabot Lodge has still to prove that he is the man who can build one. Millions of Americans are strongly, even fervently, for Taft. But Eisenhower is clearly the man whom more Americans admire most. That is why the Taft strength is still conditional. A roundup of the Taft-Eisenhowerrace (see box) has brought from many a state the answer that Taft will get this or that delegate-"unless there is a dramatic Eisenhower movement." It is up to Lodge to make such a movement a political reality...
