...course, the strained relationship approached the breaking point when Reuther, boss of the United Auto Workers, resigned from the A.F.L.-C.l.O.'s policy-making executive council, along with three other U.A.W. officials. Reuther stays on as chief of the powerful industrial-union department-a coalition of old C.I.O.-type unions within the A.F.L.-C.I.O.-but nobody knows for how long.

But they are not the cliches one expects to find...
...vicious falciparum type of malaria parasite is responsible for virtually all the malaria that strikes U.S. troops, despite their "Sunday pill" of chloroquine and pyrimethamine. These parasites even overcome the protective effect of a potent third antimalarial, dia-phenylsulfone (DOS), given to troops in the highlands. Falciparum's fever may be fatal if it attacks the brain. Last winter U.S. medics were saving nearly all their patients by intensive treatment with chloroquine and quinine, but 40% of the men suffered relapses...
