Developed by two Winthrop chemists, Dr. Sydney Archer and Dr. Noel Albertson, the drug has the chemical name pentazocine and is trade-named Talwin. In six years, it has been tested on 12,000 patients and has relieved severe pain associated with surgery, injuries, cancer, childbirth, bone diseases arthritis and dental conditions. The pa- tients obtained about as much relief a they would have from morphine, but did not require increasing doses. Th side effects, such as nausea and dizziness, were usually mild. Government agencies are not yet willing to say flatly that pentazocine is nonaddicting, but they...
...final months, under ex-Foreign News Editor Sydney Gruson, the Times had put up quite a fight. During its last year, circulation rose by 15% to 47,000; advertising linage jumped 20%, running ahead of the Trib by 2.7 million to 1.8 million lines. Trouble was, the Trib-Post, with a circulation of 60,000, was a better paper, with a much keener sense of what the overseas American wanted to read.

Last year he spent about $150,000 to have Gretel rebuilt for another try, but that came to nought (TIME, January 27) when a brand new Aussie challenger, Dame Pattie, convincingly trounced Gretel in a series of shakedown races off Sydney. Nothing would do then except to rebuild Gretel yet another time. Back she went to the yard, where, at a cost of $44,800, shipwrights stripped off all her double hull planking, altered every frame, shortened her keel and covered her again with single splined planks...
...second term, the Administration intensified its attack on student action. The President of the Graduate Students' Association, Marshall Bloom (an American), helped organize a meeting held Jan. 31 to discuss opposition to the new Director. Sir Sydney reacted to the discussion as if it were a conspiracy to overthrow a School appointment; he banned the meeting an hour before it was scheduled to take place. Four hundred students gathered outside the "banned room"; in the tension and confusion which followed, one of the School's elderly porters suffered a heart attack and died...
