...polite crowd of 15,000 sat through a barrage of speeches in a Ciudad Trujillo park one muggy night last week, applauding with the kind of suppressed boredom usually found at amateur theatricals. The occasion: a rally of "reaffirmation" for Dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo. In similar spirit, the Dominican Senate addressed itself to a resolution to erect two more busts of Trujillo in the capital, already so statue studded that new sites are scarce. The resolution passed...
...been good actors, live performances. Last week it was June Havoc as Momma, Edward Andrews as Dad, and Jane Withers as Momma's sister, who put a lively kick into Pink Burro. In the past, Tallulah Bankhead, Ethel Merman, Maurice Evans, Helen Hayes and Julie Harris handled similar chores. No one on the Steel Hour sees any reason to search for a new formula. Even in the summer, when other shows are sneaking by with reruns, the Steel Hour will remain live, with lively casts, the names familiar from countless Broadway marquees. Like the careful pilot who wants...
...Britain, where more than 6,000 were killed, 300,000 injured in traffic accidents last year, a Church of England clergyman had a similar message for motorists. Vicar Vyvyan Watts-Jones of Darlaston's All Saints Church suggested a ten-second prayer to be pasted on dashboards and to be read before each trip: "Help me, O God, as I drive, to love my neighbor as myself, that I may do nothing to hurt or endanger any of your children. Give my eyes clear vision and skill to my hands and feet. Make me tranquil in mind and relaxed...
...Gases. Chemotherapy, broadly defined, got its biggest boost in 1941, when Chicago's Dr. Charles B. Huggins reported that prostate-cancer victims did better and lived longer after castration. The important thing was not the surgery, but the chemistry-removal of the main source of male sex hormones. Similar but less marked benefits resulted from "chemical castration" by administration of a female hormone. In women, some recurrent breast cancers were retarded by female hormones and others by male hormones. But these treatments relied on natural body chemicals, not synthetic magic...
...well-inventoried machine-tool manufacturers make a case in point. They require so many different specialty steels that they cannot stock all of them, will be in a bad way if warehouses run short of a few kinds. Automakers are in a similar fix. They have stored sufficient steel to run well into the 1960 model year-unless a supplier of some critical component has miscalculated and runs out of steel. Chrysler, which will start producing its 1960 models in mid-August, has a big enough stockpile to roll through mid-November. Ford (which makes 40% of its own steel...
