Even a careless survey of the pages of the Book of Mormon would show that God judges equally all races and that the saints are instructed to treat each man equally. It was Brigham Young who advocated the maxim, "It is better to feed the Indians than to fight them," and embarked our intermountain West on a new type of Indian policy. Indians have filled the ranks of the Mormon priesthood for generations, and still play an integral part in church affairs...
What to do? Many physicians, finding nothing organically wrong, tell such mothers: "It's all in your mind." That only increases their worries and frustrations. Others, said Dr. Lovshin, "get out their pills and potions and injections" and treat the women for complaints of the doctors' own imagining-anemia, low blood pressure, low metabolism. Or, "we tell them they are not eating right, give them vitamins, and since no normal, active mother has any time to eat right, this catches them all." Some doctors become obsessed with a few pounds' overweight, or fancied excesses in coffee drinking...
...because a membrane blocks the lungs' air sacs: nobody knows why half of such cases get better and show no ill effects, while the other half die. Bile pigment, which the immature liver cannot handle, may pile up in the blood and cause brain damage. Best way to treat it, Dr. Dennis said, is to replace 80% to 90% of the baby's blood in an exchange transfusion.

No one knew how to treat me afterwards." But such announcements are growing less unusual all the time. Across Britain, parish-church notice boards are quietly ablaze with initial letters of decorations awarded new curates and vicars in their old careers. At last month's meeting of the Anglican selection board for ministerial training, the only two candidates over 40 were army majors; at the R.A.F...
...Thieriot and Newhall still lacked just the man to turn the liberal Republican Chronicle into a breakfast treat instead of a treatment: curly-haired, puckish San Franciscophile Herb Caen (pronounced Cane), 43, the columnist who defected to Hearst's morning Examiner in 1950 for a doubled salary of $30,000. In 1957, Prodigal Son Caen decided to return (for $38,000 a year), leaving the Examiner (circ. 257,251) with little humor to perk up its somber pages. "The day I knew we had come around the corner," says Publisher Thieriot, "is the day Herb Caen decided to come...
