...Taft began to lose sleep. He consulted doctors at Walter Reed Hospital, in Cincinnati and in New York. The doctors prescribed deep X rays and cortisone, put him on crutches, insisted that he keep his weight off the hip bone. They also insisted that he unburden himself of most of the weighty chores that go with the job of majority leader. For that reason Taft had personally selected Knowland to handle the day-to-day routine. He would continue to handle high policy matters himself, and would attend White House meetings insofar as his treatments would permit...

"There is a traditional dislike among Americans for informers," he admitted. But, said Tuttle, "a ruthless aggression...
Come, Sweet Death. Author Wharton tries to make the maze of modern experimentation seem simple and straightforward by using the Philip Wylie technique of creating a few plain-talking "characters" and letting them unburden themselves to Whartonesque psychiatrists and sages-thus giving a coat of fictional jam to his strictly nonfictional pills. Chief of these characters is successful, middle-aged Businessman George Burton; chief of George's problems is simply that "for months he had been sinking into deeper and deeper depression . . . was alternately bored and afraid . . . Hardly a day passed that the thought did not cross his mind...
