...nice to be glad-and we admit we try to be that-although the news doesn't always permit, but we just don't like to be called the "glad rag of the garment trade" [TIME, Aug. 23]. It does something or other to our dignity. How would you like to be called "the newsrag of time?" Wouldn't it do something or other to YOUR dignity...
...mountains near Gijón. Gijón, a little cod-fishing port became the capital of what was left of the Leftist side of the Basque Republic-a narrow strip running 125 miles along the Bay of Biscay.

S. pharmacologists last year under the trade names "Prontosil" and "Prontylin," has been found effective in blood poisoning, gonorrhea, childbed fever, erysipelas, cerebrospinal meningitis and other bacterial diseases (TIME, Dec. 28, et seq.). Last week conservative bacteriologists of the National Institute of Health announced that this astounding new drug seemed to be a cure for an entirely separate class of diseases, namely, those caused by viruses. Among virus diseases are the common cold, influenza, infantile paralysis, parrot fever. Another disease due to a virus is "benign lymphocytic choriomeningitis," which was recognized as a distinct...
