...prepared a talk on syphilis. Infantile paralysis, diphtheria, tuberculosis, and cancer are diseases which broadcasters frequently discuss over the radio but Columbia Broadcasting drew the line at Dr. Parran's subject. Nonetheless, he appeared at CBS's Manhattan studio to tell the nation about syphilis. Would he alter his prepared text to conform with what the company considered good public taste?

Last week, after the start of the four-out-of-seven race series, U. S. Yachtsmen had no reason to alter their opinion. In two days of sailing, Harold Stirling Vanderbilt's Rainbow had been better handled, shown herself the faster boat in light airs. But Endeavour had proved that she is a fine boat in a stiff breeze and that her skipper's reputation for quick thinking...
