Bach for Percussion (New York Percussion Ensemble conducted by Harold Glick; Audio Fidelity). Four familiar Bach organ works rapped out on the numerous wood, skin and metal objects of a modern percussion department. The result has the effect of an X-ray photograph of a flower-barely recognizable, eerie and oddly fascinating...
...doubtful that any treatment so far devised for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (a form of leukemia that affects older adults) prolongs the patient's life, said Marquette University's Dr. Anthony V. Pisciotta, but it is possible to prolong useful life by transfusions, X ray and drug treatments which reduce unsightly tumor masses and control anemia.

...Marion duMont, 55, was not seriously ill when she checked into Newton-Wellesley Hospital of Newton, Mass, one day last week. She was to be X-rayed for backache next day, so it seemed convenient to check in and get a good rest the night before.

This diagnosis, one of more than a dozen possibilities suggested by the symptoms, could not have been confirmed in the White House bedroom without X rays if Snyder had not been familiar with Ike's previous attacks and his medical history. This goes back to a "voluntary" appendectomy in 1923-after a series of unexplained upsets-and severe dysentery in the 1930s. On either of these occasions the disease could have planted itself. It usually...
