...treatments. A woman who complained of stomach pains to Naturopath R. W. Frydenlund in Dallas reported that he looked into her eyes with a magnifying glass, promptly diagnosed her trouble as "having eye muscles too far apart." He gave her a red-and-black-striped stick, told her to stare at it cross-eyed for 15 minutes a day. Charge: $5. In Weslaco, "Patient" Ben Laney told Naturopath F. G. Schaus that he thought he had food poisoning. A machine diagnosed a kidney stone. Schaus massaged Laney's hand, saying that it contained the nerve to his kidney...
Like a small, patient elephant, he stood there as they watched him, conscious of being the center of a crowded, shoulder-packed stare. He was short, squat, had on a brown, well-cut suit, two Red orders on the handkerchief pocket, and he held a glass of what appeared to be grapefruit juice. Now and then he would whisper conspiratorially to Bulganin or laugh over his shoulder to Mikoyan or talk with proper gravity to the beaming Egyptian War Minister.

A richly laden but crewless merchant ship is moored near shore, the remains of a banquet lie scattered along the beach, and all around sprawl the bodies of slain men. Only two are alive: a badly wounded young Greek named Theagenes, who is being tended by Charicleia, a girl so beautiful that the brigands think she must be a goddess...
Public prostitution flourishes more conspicuously in London than it does in any other major capital in the world, providing a sight that U.S. tourists, expecting London to be staid and sedate, stare at in fascinated wonderment. From noon until the small hours of the morning, London's vast troop of trollops are busy as squirrels in the fashionable West End as well as in Limehouse. Many have regular stations. They throng four deep on the sidewalks under the bright lights of Piccadilly Circus, patrol Mayfair, Park Lane and-Bond Street with the lighthearted aplomb of 4-H members...
