From the sunbaked wastes of Arizona's Navajo Reservation came dramatic news about the new TB drug, isoniazid (TIME, March 3).

He rubbed his arms and hands with alcohol, fastened leather guards over his hands, sat down at the keyboard and started pummeling its projecting levers, stamping on its pedals. Above him in the belfry, 23 tuned bells chimed out a program of folk tunes, hymns, a classical number or two. The annual congress of the Guild of Carillonneurs of North America was in town...
