...massacre. Weeks ago, Harold Macmillan had concluded from the Tories' disquieting series of election reverses that Britain did not want a change of party so much as a change within the party. Cobwebbed Conservative policies and lackluster leaders have succeeded in alienating a large segment of the young, middle-class voters who swept the party into office eleven years ago in response to the forward-looking policies that were dubbed "pink Toryism." To woo them back, Macmillan plucked from his front and back benches a clutch of European-minded, relatively young M.P.s (the Cabinet's average...
...series called The Eleventh Hour (NBC), Wendell Corey will become TV's first weekly psychiatrist, having analyzed already the remarkable 1961-62 success of Drs. Casey and Kildare (both returning, of course). There will be a program called The Nurses on CBS and, perhaps to satisfy a large segment of the mass audience, a new show about a veterinarian (NBC).

Dr. Cooper's newest technique, used in almost 200 cases in the past year, is to put the patient on the operating table under a battery of X-ray machines. Using a local anesthetic, he saws out a dime-sized piece of the skull, then inserts a three-in-one tube, only 2 mm. (less than 1½ in.) in diameter. The tube slips painlessly through the insensitive brain to the deep-lying thalamus...
