When he ordered military readiness to demonstrate his determination to Khrushchev, the President was shocked to find that the Army was in a lower state than he had supposed. The Army repeatedly had to borrow equipment from one unit to fit out another. Reserve units called to duty found they had no weapons. Kennedy decided to get started on building up the Army: he called General Taylor from retirement, made him a military troubleshooter and later Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff...

Since Dr. Kretchmer and his colleagues want data that can be applied to all premature babies, they are studying an average run of preemies. Most are normal except for their size, though last week one had to be fed by a tube leading directly into its stomach through...
...form of hemorrhagic fever similar to those already known from Manchuria, Korea, India and Argentina. But was the responsible virus the same as any of those from other lands? And what animal or insect transmitted the virus to its human victims? Bolivia asked the internationally sponsored Middle America Research Unit, based in Balboa with Arizona-born Dr. Henry K. Beye as its head, to mobilize its forces for a jungle...
