...Bittner showed that breast cancer in certain mice is transmitted by a factor, now accepted as a virus, in mouse mothers' milk. This led to the establishment of mouse "dairies," and the painstaking milking of tens of thousands of rodents. In 1951, Dr. Ludwik Gross of The Bronx Veterans Administration Hospital injected something (evidently a virus material) from leukemic mice into newborn mice, got a high incidence of leukemia and some odd tumors to which little attention was then paid...
Slugger Colavito, 25, is a rugged (6 ft. 3 in., 190 lbs.) lad, whose rippling biceps seem to make visible bulges on the television screen. The son of a Bronx truck driver, Rocky grew up in the shadow of Yankee Stadium, played ball just across the street in Macomb's Dam Park. Naturally, the Yankees were his boyhood heroes.

...nine American League pennants in the past ten years, last week thudded into last place for the first time since 1940. The Yanks' team batting average was a puny .243 v. .266 at the same time last year, when they led the league by 6½ games. The Bronx Bombers had been shut out five times in the first six weeks of 1959. The pitching was poor too. Last week Yankee Aces Whitey Ford and Bob Turley were both knocked out of the box in the first inning. Muttered Manager Casey Stengel: "Those pitchers of ours will have...
...biggest strike in the history of U.S. hospitals bedeviled New York City last week. At six voluntary, nonprofit hospitals (four in Manhattan, one each in. The Bronx and Brooklyn), nurses' aides, orderlies, porters, kitchen and laundry help hit the bricks on orders of Local 1199, Retail Drug Employees Union, A.F.L.-C.I.O.
