...Florida's Senator George Smathers, 52, secretary of the Senate Democratic Conference and the second-ranking Democratic member of the Finance Committee, announced that he will retire after his third term expires in January 1969, because of ill health. Smathers has been suffering from a stomach ulcer and a kidney ailment, but declines to specify the illness that is ending his congressional career. Before entering Georgetown University Hospital last week for tests, he described his condition as "serious, complex but not incurable...
...Came In from the Cold. More than 5,000,000 readers have been hooked and held by pseudonymous Author John le Carré's downbeat spy thriller, which scores espionage as a grubby, ulcer-making career at best. The movie version is a masterwork in a minor key. Avoiding formula excitement, Producer-Director Martin Ritt (Hud) achieves something far superior-a climate of still, absolute insecurity that conveys menace mainly through undertones. And Richard Burton, playing the chief pawn in an involuted cold-war plot, will be measured from now on against his full, corrosive performance here. To have...

Furthermore, Dr. Davison confirms the diagnosis of other historians that Mary suffered from an acutely active gastric ulcer. He also concludes that in terms of modern psychiatry she was a medically certifiable hysteric. He blames her neurosis on her troubled childhood in the first instance, and unusual height. As a child, she fell into sobbing tantrums in times of stress. In later life, she always got sicker when her fortunes ebbed-in one crisis she lost the use of her legs for some weeks. If she was a hysteric, Author Davison considers it highly unlikely that Mary was driven...
...patient lost 96 lbs. in little more than a year, and his leg ulcer healed. Then he developed a hernia at the operation scar, so the surgeons went in again. Since his weight loss had been only moderate, they cut out a foot of jejunum. That did it. The clerical worker is now down to a merely rotund 165 lbs.; he is back at his office desk, able to tie his shoelaces, and happy as never before...
