...stated that an impartial board of three doctors would pass on the evidence presented by the physician. The obvious drawback to this arrangement is that there doubtless exist communities where it would be difficult to find three doctors who knew enough medicine, were sufficiently unbiased and were willing to take the time to examine the data carefully so that their decision would be an independent one and not merely reflect the view of the patient's physician...
...obviously approved, but about which none could be happy; driven by inexorable forces, the U.S. was setting out to make a weapon that would pale the deadliness of the atomic-fission bomb (see SCIENCE). As events had turned, it was essentially a defensive measure. The Russians could build and doubtless were building their own hydrogen bomb. If undeterred by threat of retaliation in kind, the Russians could deliver it by aircraft almost anywhere in the U.S.; by submarine, or in a sneak attack from a commercial freighter in the harbor, they could use it to devastate the great coastal cities...
Seldom really human but everywhere humane, The Enchanted shimmers with a fine Gallic playfulness.

Next June, the Met announced, it would stage a show drawn from its own collection and entitled "American Painters, 1900-1950." That would be followed in the fall by a competitive exhibition-selected by regional juries composed largely of artists-of new American paintings. The first show would doubtless point up historical gaps in the Met's collection that need filling; the second would supply the Met with a broad selection of hot hors d'oeuvres to purchase from, help bring its collection up to date...
...painstaking, broad-viewed and valuable study of a vital period in Russian development, throughout which Historian Eckardt does his objective best to separate Ivan into two Ivans: 1) the Personal Sadist, 2) the Unifier, born out of his time, caught in the inexorable process of history. Though the method doubtless deserves respect, its limitations are never so clear as in a book on Ivan...
