...vitamin B-12 (another growth promoter), one of whose sources is the fermentation product from which aureomycin is separated. To their astonishment, they found that this material had more effect on the growth of chicks than pure vitamin B-12 itself. When they investigated, they found that the small trace of aureomycin in the mixture was responsible. It worked with turkeys. It also worked with hogs, speeding their growth into marketable chops and bacon by as much...
When U.S. Supreme Court Justice William Orville Douglas, 51, suffered his near-fatal accident on Washington's Crystal Mountain (TIME, Oct. 10), he was no Eastern greenhorn in search of a thrill, but a mountain-climbing veteran who could trace his experience all the way back to his Yakima, Wash, boyhood.

Shapiro's comparison of the dimensions of "Norma" (the average...

In his appearances before Congress, he is gracious, urbane and polite-perhaps over-polite. But his explanations of foreign programs often carry a trace of faint weariness that explanations should be needed. Worse, even staunch Democrats were dismayed by his espousal of Alger Hiss; and his explanation of what he regarded as the moral niceties of the question merely embarrassed them more. In their eyes, he had thus become a political liability...
