Last week Humphrey stuck to his taxes-are-too-high theme when he appeared before Harry Byrd's Senate Finance Committee, although he was urging the Senators to extend corporation income taxes at their current rates (30% on the first $25,000 and 52% on the rest), instead of permitting them to drop as scheduled on April 1. Humphrey argued that holding the present rates is the only way to balance the budget; the committee, including Chairman Byrd, duly supported his view. Said Humphrey with genuine earnestness: "What we need, and what we need badly, in this country...
...tense third round last week, Patty Berg dropped temporarily to third, two strokes behind 19-year-old Amateur Anne Quast, one stroke back of Mickey Wright. But on the final round the old pro stuck a shamrock in her hat and hit men's par on every hole except three. On those she shot birdies. She finished with a flashy 69. Her 72-hole total of 296 made her Titleholders champ, three strokes in front of faltering Anne Quast. It pushed her 1957 winnings to $3,863, highest of the lady pros...
...week Gunnar Larsson started from Sälen just as Vasa did, with hope. He pushed steadily across the wooded hills and frozen streams of the irregular land. Before the race was over, more than 100 exhausted skiers of the 583-man field had quit, but Larsson, as usual, stuck it out.

For one year, until time for the next Vasaloppet, Gunnar Larsson will be Sweden...
...generally surpassed him in schooling. He never went beyond the eighth grade at Mullanphy grammar school in St. Louis because he had to work to support his family. But he read hungrily, listened to radio music in his spare time, and found that "just about everything that interested me stuck." Without really trying, he says, he can rattle off the names and dates of any ruler in any major country through history, give the dates, forces employed and strategy of 500 historic battles, or hum entire symphonies. Thanks to his rare gift, Nadler currently may add as much...
First, Dr. Southam used Novocain to anesthetize an area about three inches across. Into the middle of the area he stuck a tattoo needle that left a blue dot for a reference mark. Out of a vial and into a hypodermic syringe he drew up a cubic centimeter of pink fluid-mostly water, but containing millions of cancer cells from human victims of the disease. The cells had been grown for years in test tubes by Dr. Alice E. Moore, Sloan-Kettering tissue-culture specialist, who had carried the cells to Columbus herself -in her handbag...
