...first year's results with isoniazid (especially when given along with streptomycin or PAS), New York City officials announced an ambitious program to bring every known tuberculosis case under treatment. Outpatient care will help those waiting for hospital beds and will make it possible to send patients home sooner but keep them under treatment; it will also be good for many of the balky ones who refuse hospitalization...
...woman reporter from the New Orleans States got a shock when she set out to cover her first school-board meeting. She had no sooner taken her seat than a board member snappishly ordered her to leave the room. "After that," says Mrs. Jacqueline Leonhard, 35, "I found myself cooling my heels outside whenever I was sent to cover a meeting.

Always moderate in his own drinking, Dr. Bell has cut down still more since he started to see milligrams in every glass...
Queen of Spades is ham, well-done. It's got bejeweled nobles, fragile ladies, wild eyed gypsics, and a drooling villain who goes stark, raving mad in the last scene.
