...border from Mupperg, asking if anyone had seen his lost son, and was told that the boy would be returned soon. Taken to an orphanage in Coburg, the runaway had a party thrown in his honor, was showered with lollipops, bananas, toys and clothing-rare luxuries for an East zone child. Two days later, bundled into the interzonal train and stuffed with goodies, Peter was returned, past embarrassed Grepos to his parents-and a Communist world he doesn't yet understand...

...that contributes most to the safety of the air. Fortunately, what is comfortable for people seems to be deadly for many bacteria, notably staph. The germs thrive in dry air (relative humidity less than 35%), and in moist air (65% or over). They languish and die in the middle zone. So the St. Louis researchers recommend keeping the humidity control on operating-room air conditioners at the 50% evel-a setting that is best for operat-ng personnel, worst for germs, and moist enough to minimize the ever-present danger of anesthetic explosions from static electricity...

...closely guarded on one side by soldiers of Communist North Korea, on the other by the U.N. Command, made up of 600,000 South Koreans, 50,000 U.S. troops, and small detachments from Thailand and Turkey. There is still some bloodshed in the 2,000-yd.-wide demilitarized zone on either side of the line. In their ceaseless search for shell casings and scrap metal, South Korean civilians blunder into old but still murderous minefields.
