Doctors have been disappointed more than once in their high hopes of eradicating gonorrhea with wonder drugs, but last week the U.S. Public Health Service reported that before the end of 1963 the anti-gonorrhea campaign may be made vastly more effective. This time it is not a new drug that is arousing new hope, but an improved and speedier way of detecting the disease...
...Sicily, scholar, scientist, quarreler with Popes, prodigious lecher, successful Crusader, political innovator-is a blazing figure in a period in history (the first half of the 13th century) that the casual student too often slides by. The attention is caught briefly, perhaps, by Frederick's nickname, Stupor Mundi (wonder of the world), and by accounts that his scientific curiosity led him to experiment with live servants. But ahead, amplified by history's hindsound, are the first horn calls of the Renaissance. The temptation is to leave Frederick for the grandeur born two centuries later...
While French businessmen generally applaud this "voluntary" plan, most feel that it involves a restrictive kind of market sharing, and some wonder whether it has contributed as much to economic growth as have the Common Market and the stabilization of the franc.

...need no wonder, for that matter, why scientists are an unusually small percentage of the dark-skinned segment of our population. We need not wonder if there is injustice done to groups in America as long as our personal friendships are A-OK. But the fact remains that so-called Negroes are damaged en masse by the imposition of what I agree with Mr. Gillman is an artificial barrier, as, indeed, are the so-called whites, though their scars are less likely to show up in the simple test between "scientist" or "drunkard." This barrier, however, is not only...
