...pint of whisky, with soda, on two successive days, and eight weeks later had a normal healthy boy. Dr. Fuchs then refined the method, so that he now takes doubly sterile (spore-free as well as germfree) alcohol and makes a solution about as strong as a tall highball. Instead of giving patients a swig, he drips it into their veins. Among 100 patients so far treated this way at New York Hospital, and at least 200 more at White Medical Center in Los Angeles, the alcohol cut short the contractions in about 70% and delayed birth for as long...

Second Bulge. At a gala banquet in Richmond, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts named the tall and stately Mrs. Brown "Collector of the Year," an award bestowed by the museum's enthusiastic society of collectors on their exemplars (past titleholders: Virginia's Paul Mellon, Chicago's Leigh Block and Cinemactor Vincent Price) in return for a chance to view some of the collec tor's prizes. For her turn, Mrs. Brown put on exhibition 78 prints, drawings and watercolors and 25 books depicting British military uniforms from Henry VIII to George V, selected from...
