Charles (in training at nearby Monticello, N.Y.) was reported feeling fine. "The next champ has been in perfect health since he had his infested tonsils cut out of his throat," said his manager, Jake Mintz (somewhat of an authority on medical matters, having once suffered from "coronated trombosis" himself...
...Romp. The tuba yawned selfconsciously through a mass of quavers like a gigantic empty stomach, rumbling from note to note, fluffing some quick passages, squawking agonizingly slowly through deep bass notes. Then came the cadenza, which was really too intricate for a tuba. The instrument cleared its throat and got going. But soon the movement ended in a romp, with orchestra and tuba neck and neck.

The medical men who are most articulate about their choice generally have achieved equal or greater fame as writers. Among the contributions...

A Child of the Century drives home the lesson that words and phrases are best kept short and plain-a fact Hecht might have learned from...
...Boston spawned a new disease in 1951, doctors there concluded after studying reports of 2,450 cases. Still unnamed, it is mild and so like German measles that only an immunologist could tell them apart. It usually attacks children, gives them a red rash, sore throat, muscle aches, and a short-lived fever of 102° F. Now that doctors know what to look for, they will probably find it outside Boston...
