...known by the carriage he keeps. Massive, super-sprung, often a flashy lilac in color, for the Mayfair nanny and the working-class "mum" alike, the Big Pram has become in postwar Britain a symbol of status akin to the automobile in U.S. oneupmanship. But at least one winter baby in England next year is due for a hand-me-down. As Buckingham Palace prepared for the first child to be born to a reigning British monarch in more than 100 years,* the old pram in which Queen Elizabeth herself was wheeled was dug out of the palace lumber room...
...London's medical journal Lancet, Professors Michele Pavone-Macaluso and Antonino Anello described the case. Last winter a 34-year-old housewife bent on suicide swallowed bichloride of mercury. After eleven days, her system still could not flush out the poison. So with tubes from a vein and artery in one arm, the doctors hooked her up to an artificial kidney. But instead of letting her blood circulate through cellophane tubing in a chemical bath, and relying on the solution to remove the poisons, they wheeled a donor into the treatment room. The donor: a 130-lb. ewe, heavily...

Nikita Khrushchev would arrive in Paris March 15 for a state visit expected to last as much as two weeks. After that, in April De Gaulle would accept the Queen's invitation to visit Britain, and perhaps follow it with a boat trip to the U.S. and Canada. Mid-May, therefore, might be appropriate for the summit. All this was a far cry from Eisenhower's original proposal for a December summit. But without...
...LAWRENCE SEAWAY traffic for year will total an estimated 6,600 ships carrying 20 million tons of cargo when it closes for the winter at end of November. This is 20% less than expected, because late spring thaw and steel strike cut shipments...
