...time has come for doctors to reflect on it, says the A.M.A., because the entrenched practice can be fatal. The University of Minnesota's Dr. Justin J. Wolfson recently reported a case in which an eight-day-old baby died because the thermometer had pierced the wall of its rectum. Actual perforation of the rectum appears to be rare, says the A.M.A., but "injury to the rectum by the thermometer is not uncommon. Severe bleeding, ulceration, abscesses, hematomas and scarring have been reported." Autopsies indicate that rectal injury may occur in more than 6% of patients...

"The breaks of the game," sighed Wolfson, and coughed up $39,000 for another colt, Raise a Native. The horse won four races, smashed two track records -and broke down. Or consider...
...Finest Hours is less a historical biography of Churchill than an uncritical tribute to him. The Churchill of Victor Wolfson's unobtrusive, and, I think, appropriate screenplay is a Churchill who was always right: right about the potential of air power and tanks in 1916, right about the futility of appeasement in 1938, right about the danger of Soviet expansionism in 1945. And it is true that his historian's mind had few equals in its grasp of European international politics. But his vision sometimes failed; he was poorly equipped to deal with such postwar problems as economic adjustment...
