Since 1924, when floods washed out one section of the waterway, no freight at all has moved on the canal, and the placid ditch, its tree-grown canal path, its long strip of riverside woodland, are frequented only by occasional hikers, naturalists or canoeists. Recently the Government began planning construction of a modern, two-lane automobile highway to open the area and its delightful vistas to the general public. But last week, when the Washington Post ran an editorial commending the parkway scheme, it received a sharp and moving dissent. Its author: woods-wise, mountain-loving Supreme Court Justice William...
What was involved here was liquidation of the League of Communists, the shattering of discipline." That was it. The Central Committee voted to strip Comrade Djilas of all his party rank, and he obediently resigned the presidency of the Parliament. But contrite Milovan Djilas was not cast into the outer darkness: he remains-though probably not for long-one of Yugoslavia's four Vice Presidents. While he may participate in no party councils, he still holds his Communist Party card. That much Tito thought "Djido" deserved-presumably because of the pure quality of his repentance...
...Morgan, M.D., a square-jawed general practitioner with an adventurous suburban clientele, has become the most widely known physician in the U.S. without ever stepping out of a comic strip.

Dallis, an amateur cartoonist before he went to Temple University medical school, had long toyed with the idea of starting an educational comic strip about the workaday problems of a U.S. doctor. When he went to Toledo in 1946, as director of the newly established Toledo Mental Hygiene Center, he met a local resident named Allen Saunders, who does the continuity for successful comic strips himself (Mary Worth, Kerry Drake, Steve Roper). Saunders encouraged Dallis, put him in touch with Chicago's Publishers Syndicate and two artists who do the final drawings. So Rex Morgan...
Recently, through his syndicate, Dallis got a letter of protest from a former attendant at the Carville, La. leprosarium. Rex, it seemed, had chided one of his comic-strip friends for treating his girl "like a leper." Result: after Morgan puts Landros behind bars, he will tackle the subject of leprosy, or, as Carville prefers to call it, Hansen's disease...
