Harking back nostalgically to the good old days when party activists worked seven days a week and scarcely found time to eat or sleep, the provincial paper Gazeta Robotnicza blamed the Ziebice fiasco on the fact that Ziebice's Communists were unwilling to accept responsibility. "We might as well say why," mused the paper unhappily. "A number of our activists have come to like the petty-bourgeois way of life. They want nothing else but to be left in peace...
Five Years of Study. Stanford disagrees that there will be any drop in quality, points out that under its new curriculum it will need much less help from volunteer clinicians. Inspired by the program undertaken seven years ago by Cleveland's Western Reserve University (TIME, July 2, 1956), the Stanford curriculum has been completely rebuilt to "humanize" the doctor by spreading his studies over five years instead of four, teaching him more about the patient as a whole and less about medical specialties, at least at the start.

Last year, proving he could coach big-time football as well as play it, Graham turned assorted college players into a smooth unit that trounced the world champion Detroit Lions in the annual all-star game...
...finals Coe started fast, drilling birdies on the first three holes, led two up after the morning round of 18 holes. But in the afternoon Coe began to wilt. He sent seven of nine tee shots into the rough, set six geese to frantic squawking by nearly dropping a ball into their pond...
