...years ago Britain's BBC barred hypnotists from television (TIME, Dec. 30, 1946) because of a private test during which four of six BBC staffers went to sleep. In Paris this spring, Egyptian Fakir Tahra Bey allegedly hypnotized part of his studio audience and some of his countrywide listeners over a Radio Diffusion Français program...
...Union Oil Co.'s La Merced No. 17, which had been abandoned for three years, Lane-Wells's first test resulted in a greater daily flow than the well had ever produced. This summer, on the same site, the company made its 100,000th perforation, rejuvenated the old well all over again. Over 5,000 oil-producing companies in the U.S. are now Lane-Wells customers, at $200 and up per well...

Even then, it was three years before any motorist made the trip from sea to sea-twelve days of bumps, jolts and dust...

In its early stages, infantile paralysis is hard to diagnose, because the symptoms (fever, headache, upset stomach) may be those of half a dozen childhood ailments. A new drug may seem to work wonders when all the time the patient only had grippe. A new diagnostic test on mice was reported last week in Science by Dr. Pierre R. Lepine, of the Pasteur Institute in Paris. He injects fecal material from suspected polio patients into the brains of five mice. Two days...
