...analogy with tame schoolboys. Turning to Plato's Republic for guidance, Hahn designed a stern academy to "molest" the overly contented. His "seven laws": 1) give children opportunities for selfdiscovery; 2) make them meet with triumph and defeat; 3) give them the opportunity for self-effacement in a common cause; 4) provide periods of silence; 5) train the imagination; 6) make games important but not predominant; 7) free the sons of the rich and powerful from the enervating sense of privilege...
...last week, as the PHS recorded 944 new cases across the nation, hepatitis had become the third most common reportable disease in the U.S.-behind measles and strep-scarlet fever-and a full-blown menace to health. Four for One. The latest PHS figures, which cover the third week in October, bring to 31,259 the number of hepatitis cases reported in the U.S. so far this year, and the year-end total is expected to fall shy only of 1954's record 50,093. Reported cases are believed to be only a fraction of the actual total; Kentucky...

Rome's Giornale d'ltalia hailed the meeting as "the Christian summit"; Il Messaggero called it a "sign of Christian reconciliation on the plane of common spiritual defense." The Vatican quickly slapped down such exuberance; L'Osservatore Romano brushed off the news with a small...
...common plea in the Mayor's camp was that there was no money. His main weapons were newspaper advertising (less than other candidates), his private car, and a fistful of brochures that explained all about Tom O'Connor. He was handicapped by lack of man-power in what a Boston Globe reporter once said (but did not write) was the worst publicized campaign in Massachusetts. He stated that all the other politicians flooded the news rooms with charges, counter-charges, and press releases. The O'Connor managers caught on, it seems, only in the last days of the campaign...
