...little in his life to suggest that his name would become synonymous with cancer research. Son of a Springfield (Mass.) ophthalmologist, young Dr. Rhoads took his internship under Boston's great Neurosurgeon Harvey Gushing, then went to New York's Trudeau Sanatorium (TIME, Dec. 6,1954), Adirondack Mountain headquarters for tuberculosis research and treatment. After a Boston stint in pathology, Dr. Rhoads joined Manhattan's Rockefeller Institute, studied immunity to poliomyelitis. The institute sent him to the tropics to work on diseases of the blood. There he became interested in leukemia, commonest of "blood cancers...
...Gallery last week once again proved his own happy confession: "I have never been able to lock the world out of my studio." Rosenberg avoids flashy technique and fashionable abstraction. Instead, he paints loose, free and colorful impressions of the things he loves: flowers, fields, streams and especially the Adirondack Mountains...
Down the wilderness trail from the Tahawus Club to North Creek in New York State's Adirondack Mountains a rattletrap huckboard jolted through the night, skidding off ruts, swaying past boulders and tree stumps, creaking and clattering through the silence of the forest.

Remembering with horror the airless cell in which his brother suffered, Trudeau moved to Bloomingdale, in a remote section of New York's Adirondack Mountains, and three years later to nearby Saranac Lake. Inexplicably, he began to recover in the cool, fresh air. In 1885, on a $350 gift from a friend, Trudeau founded the. U.S.'s first TB sanatorium (first patients: two consumptive factory girls). Trudeau shunted patients out into the biting mountain air, made them sleep, bundled snugly...
...nomination-filing law. Purposely rigged against new parties, the law states that a candidate must get five thousand signatures in each of the state's counties to get on the ballot. Fish did fine in New York City, but he had to give up in the wilds of the Adirondack mountain counties, where it is hard enough to find five thousand inhabitants, let alone disgruntled Republicans. In Connecticut, however, Miss Vivian Kellems met the filing requirements and began sniping at both major candidates in her weekly radio program. She was a bit disturbed on her last broadcast over the fact...
