In the spotlight, too, were the school-integration drama's leading characters, two of them subjects of recent TIME covers.

Type 1 virus was causing most of the Congo's paralytic polio, Koprowski and colleagues found. They gave the Chat strain in capsules to 1,978 schoolchildren, found that none got sick, and all but two developed good antibody protection.
