Timely Reassertion. In its 164 years the court had erected many a landmark of U.S. history: Marbury v. Madison, the Bank of the United States case, Dred Scott, the Slaughterhouse cases, the "Sick Chicken case" that killed the NRA, 1952's steel seizure. None of them, except the Dred Scott case (reversed by the Civil War) was more important than the school segregation issue. None of them directly and intimately affected so many American families. The lives and values of some 12 million schoolchildren in 21 states* will be altered, and with them eventually the whole social pattern...
Last fall Cora Sutherland became too sick to teach and took a leave of absence. Her Christian Science practitioner certified that she was suffering from a "lung congestion aggravated by activity." And when her salary stopped, he cut his fees for treatment (prayer and readings from the works of Mary Baker Eddy) from $62 to $25 a month. Last March Teacher Sutherland's brother finally insisted that she go to a hospital. The day after she was admitted, Cora Sutherland, 55, died of tuberculosis.

His most startling report: "unorthodox" healers are now 48,000 strong and outnumber the country's 42,000 licensed physicians.

But only about 3,000 of Dienbienphu's defenders were in fighting shape. The rest were the wounded, the sick (mainly from dysentery) and the exhausted...
...West Germany, the boom is still in high gear (TIME, Feb. 15). The German index of industrial production on March 1 stood at 158, up three points from February and 15 points higher than a year ago. Even France, the perennial sick man of the European economy, is feeling better. French output, except for farm production, sagged last year. But business snapped back, and French business leaders are hopeful that further recovery can come about as a result of the government's four-way prescription: 1) tax reductions (made possible, in part, by stepped...
