...quarreled with Physiologist Andrew C. Ivy. vice president of the university, over the cancer drug Krebiozen (TIME, April 9, 1951 et seq.). Though Stoddard had scientific backing for his denunciation of the drug, many trustees felt that it was not up to him to belabor popular Dr. Ivy in public...

While the Cominform's Andrei Zhdanov was making the most noise about eastern Europe, Beria quietly stepped down from his police job (now a full ministry, the MVD) and took over the organization of the satellite countries, the consolidation of the Soviet Union's own republics...
