Doctors disagree sharply on the value of vaccination against tuberculosis with BCG, the Bacillus of Calmette and Guéerin (TIME, Sept. 23). Nearest approach to a consensus is that BCG is not to be recommended for people enjoying high standards of sanitation and health, but may be good for those with low resistance, living in overcrowded conditions, and those exposed to TB victims. Now the results of a long-term experiment show how effective the vaccine can be. In the Archives of Internal Medicine, three University of Pennsylvania researchers report striking benefits among American Indians...
...paratroops invaded France to install De Gaulle by force and the government appealed to foreign powers for help? De Gaulle himself answered: "I could not consent to receive power from any source but the people, or at least its representatives." Top State Department officials formed a working consensus that 1) although Premier de Gaulle might be a difficult ally, 2) he would be preferable to another multiguided compromise government and infinitely preferable to a Communist-Socialist popular front...
...Here Is Something." Ike, too, had changed his mind since last January, when he allowed that "my personal convictions, no matter how strong," would be subject to a congressional consensus of what was politically feasible.

They are equally firm on 1) literal interpretation of the Bible and 2) refusal to join any group whose members do not interpret...
...Architect Edward Durell Stone, 56, and for the first time he was seeing, nearly completed, the building he had created. One of the profession's freest spirits and by general consensus the most versatile designer and draftsman of his generation, Ed Stone was a pioneer modernist. He early set his mark on such buildings as Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art, became one of the deftest interpreters of the International Style initiated by France's Le Corbusier and Germany's Bauhaus school. In recent years he revolted against the monotony of cityscapes composed of acres...
