...first time to raise tariffs against the relatively small volume of manufactured goods Britain imports from the Commonwealth, then prepared to tackle the far more complex question of raw materials imports, many of which compete with commodities raised by former French African colonies that now receive preferential treatment as "associate" members of the Common Market...
Most of the nation's 2,500,000 peptic ulcer victims get a measure of relief from bland diets and from tablets and emulsions that neutralize excess stomach acid. But there are tens of thousands who have been forced to submit to more drastic treatment and have had part of their stomachs cut out. In the future, such radical operations may not be necessary. Dr. Owen H. Wangensteen and his inventive research team at the University of Minnesota Hospitals have devised a method of avoiding operations (gastrectomies) simply by giving the stomach a short, quick dose of deep freezing...

Gordon Jacob, for instance, may have called his 1928 piece for winds An Original Suite, but I don't know who he thought he was kidding even then. Peter Mennin likewise sticks by an outworn style of folksy nostalgia in his 1951 Canzona. Vaughan Williams' Toccata Martiale, on the other hand, succeeds because his use of national flavor is tied to a distinct personal idiom, and the ensemble fortunately rallied its coordination...
