...Treatments & Trips. This year's most noticeable category in nonfiction is the literary biography, notably Andrew Turnbull's Thomas Wolfe and Carlos Baker's Ernest Hemingway (Papa is also the subject of Irwin Blacker's novel, Standing on a Drum). Hart Crane, Stephen Crane, Lytton Strachey, Richard Wright, Nikos Kazantzakis, Nathanael West, André Gide and Samuel Taylor Coleridge also get full-length treatment; and there will be an autobiography from André Malraux, a second volume of Bertrand Russell memories, and a third of Harold Nicolson diaries...
Short Supply. That operation raised many questions. Was it, asked Agronsky, just a surgical spectacular? On the contrary, said Barnard, medicine today is developing methods that offer curative treatment instead of palliation for hundreds of thousands of patients suffering a lingering death.

Dr. Hill said that he was not treatable, was potentially dangerous, and "should not be permitted to have freedom again in his adult life." Dr. McNeill warned that under treatment. Sledge would appear to improve, but "even with therapy over a period of time the true cause would not be eradicated." The jury was impressed. Sledge was found insane and committed to Rusk State Hospital for what seemed certain to be the rest of his life...
...nagging fear behind this cautious treatment is that alien organisms might hitch a ride aboard the spacecraft, in the bodies of the astronauts or in moon rocks that they will carry back. Such bugs, against which man has developed no immunity or medicines, could conceivably cause a catastrophic plague on earth. "We know that we're dealing with a low-probability risk and that no one really expects life to be found on the moon," says NASA's Dr. Walter W. Kemmerer Jr. "Yet the best way to preserve life is to freeze...
