...pretty picture! Two men pounding each other in their Bakelite-encased genitalia, while a third stands by yelling "Kill!" And this edifying activity presided over by a fourth who has the effrontery to keep the Bible in his office. Darwin must have been wrong. Man is not an improved strain of ape; when the Harold Johnsons of this world auspiciously fade away, man might perhaps rise to the level...
...hailed only a few years ago as the almost perfect antimalarial drug. U.S. servicemen take a weekly prophylactic tablet containing 300 mg. of chloroquine and 45 mg. of another antimalarial known as primaquine. If they develop malaria despite this, they are likely to be infected by a resistant strain of parasites. If massive doses of chloroquine fail to bring the fever down within a few hours, the medics may switch to pyrimethamine (Daraprim), which is effective in some of the less severe cases. In most instances, however, the medics are forced back to quinine, the oldest antimalarial...
Pardee owns the high jump in the Ivy League competition. No one touched him last year, despite an ankle strain at the end of the indoor season. Saturday he faces a sophomore plebe who has attained 6'8". Soccerman Charlie Njoku and sophomore John Newman are both hovering at the 6'4" mark...
This time trouble had come in an unexpected form. The deadly bacillus was not a familiar strain of Vibrio cholerae (or Vibrio comma, from its shape), for which a vaccine of sorts is available. Instead, it was a strain of the El Tor group of vibrios,* one which had previously confined its disease-causing activities to the Indonesian island of Celebes. Once this kind of El Tor got under way, it seemed unstoppable. It secured beachheads in South Korea, Taiwan, Red China and Burma. Last year it reached South Viet Nam and Japan. Then it spread into Iran and Uzbekistan...
Both bases put a tremendous strain on Britain's badly stretched economy: Aden costs $168 million a year to maintain, Singapore and Malaysia $630 million. Whitehall planners, currently preparing next February's defense review under the most stringent of cost-accounting standards, are confronted with a knotty dilemma. Britain must pare its projected 1970 defense costs from $6.7 billion to $5.6 billion; at the same time, the "ghastly blank" in the thin red line of defenses that will exist between Europe and Hong Kong must be filled if Britain is to meet her responsibilities in foreign policy...
