...that he carries his office around un der his Stetson, and he has not yet set up a White House staff adequate to the job. Lyndon brought no foreign policy advisers of his own to the White House, and the machinery that Kennedy set up has been allowed to rust. McGeorge Bundy, once Kennedy's closest adviser on national security, has become more of an organizer and message router than an idea man; last week, with things popping all over the world...
Difficult Choice. Tetanus bacteria lurk in sewage and soil, in dust and rust. They can enter the human body through any penetrating wound, through the unhealed navel of the newborn, and through drug addicts' contaminated dope.

Tetanus toxoid is cheap and safe; it rarely causes unwanted reactions. It should first be given in a course of three shots paced a month apart, he says. There should be a booster a year later...

By lacing jets of oxygen into rotating, electrically heated furnaces, KALDO produces steel of exceptionally high and uniform quality...
Stainless is created by blending the high-grade steel with chromium carbides, which toughen it, make it resistant to rust, corrosion and great heat. Sweden's steelmakers cold-roll the stainless steel to 4/1,000 in., then grind, polish and cut it into blade-wide coils before shipping it to the blademakers, who stamp and sharpen the final blade. Stainless is also indispensable in making nuclear reactors, missiles, jet engines and supersonic plane wings, as well as surgical instruments and food-processing equipment...

Now return the most ancient times, the unity recovered, the reconciliation of the Lion, the Bull and the Tree Thoughts linked to act, ear to heart, sign to sense. There are your rivers murmuring with scented crocodiles and mirage-eyed manatees. And no need to invent the Sirens. But it is enough to open eyes...
