...Ukrainian laborer, Malinovsky quit school at twelve to go to work as a shop messenger in Odessa. Too young (15) for enlistment in the Czar's army when World War I broke out, he stowed away with a unit leaving for the German front, was adopted as a mascot. Within a year, he was promoted to corporal, won the St. George's Cross, and was wounded...
...York, National Affairs Senior Editor Louis Banks assigned Associate Editor Richard Seamon to write the story. Writer Seamon had more than a passing knowledge of Francis Powers' problems in the upper atmosphere over Russia: during World War II he was a Marine pilot assigned to a combat photomapping unit...
Plane-Happy. Editor Sekigawa guessed more than most brass in Washington. Once the U-2 was test-flown, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) set up a pilot training unit ostensibly under control of Lockheed-but most of Lockheed's top officials made it a point to know very little about it. Everything was turned over to Vice President Clarence L. ("Kelly") Johnson, who is in charge of Advanced Development Projects. The training unit recruited select U.S. pilots, and presumably they were drilled in the same rigorous survival training as Strategic Air Command pilots. Presumably they got long...
Cwiklinski, a 45-year-old fireman with an ulcer, was not flouting hospital rules. As one of 24 patients in St. Mary's 25-bed self-care unit, he was well within them. For over six months the new unit had been taking in patients whose needs are not urgent: observation, a routine physical exam, daily physical therapy, post-operative recuperation. Normally, the patients would have been confined to a bed, wakened regularly each morning, prodded unnecessarily with a thermometer, served lukewarm meals. In the self-care unit, they take their own medicine and their own baths...
...self-care unit relieves St. Mary's of one of its biggest problems: finding enough nurses. Self-care requires a staff of only five for a 24-hour period, one-fourth the usual staff. The saving is passed along to the patient. A double room costs $14.50 as compared to $22.50 in the rest of the hospital; a single costs $16.50 compared to $28. St. Mary's carries no extra liability insurance on its mobile, self-care patients. Its position has been justified: only one person has had a slight accident...
