...reality of youthful sex is the rising incidence of VD, which has now reached epidemic proportions in high schools and colleges. After the ordinary cold, syphilis and gonorrhea are the most common infectious diseases among young people, outranking all cases of hepatitis, measles, mumps, scarlet fever, strep throat and tuberculosis put together. In 1970 there were at least
...finding was the range of hash usage: most of the men smoked it, usually in a pipe, at a rate equivalent to the consumption of three or four reefers a day, one to three times a week. They achieved a marijuana high and suffered nothing worse than a "hash throat," with no obvious mental aftereffects. More than 100 others smoked from 2 oz. to 20 oz. a month, the equivalent of 500 to 5,000 marijuana cigarettes.

...most rewarding medical advances of the 1950s was the finding that heart damage from rheumatic fever could usually be averted if repeated attacks of strep throat were prevented by long-term use of penicillin. A particular type of streptococcus sets up a reaction that attacks the heart's muscle and especially its valves. That, said Tulane University's Dr. George Burch, seems to be only part of the story. Viruses, a thousand times smaller than strep bacilli, are also involved, and in heart disease they may be more important. Burch had been puzzled because many patients with damaged...
