...Naval Academy's hospital in Annapolis last week, a dozen midshipmen who did not seem critically ill were confined to bed and getting intensive care. In mid-February they had begun to feel lethargic. Then they had developed slight fevers, headaches and sore throats. The lymph glands in their necks and armpits swelled. Medical Officer Edward C. Keene was not surprised-he would have been surprised if he had not had a rash of cases. The ailing mids were victims of infectious mononucleosis, a mysterious disease that breaks out about six weeks after infection. And infection most commonly occurs...

...Congressman in 1913, before Richard Boiling (or John F. Kennedy) was born, is immune to ideological itches, felt none of the liberal urge to topple Judge Smith. But Rayburn is a damn-the-infidels Democrat, and during last August's postscript session of Congress he got very sore at Smith for bottling up Kennedy's legislative program in the Rules Committee, thereby lending aid and comfort to the Republican enemy only a few months before the election. Last month, with a Democratic President about to take office, Rayburn made up his mind that in the interests of party...
