International Pastime. As it happened, Fidel Castro seemed about as dismayed by the latest skyjacking as the U.S.'s Jack Kennedy; with U.S. indignation running at fever pitch, continued aeronautical piracies could wind Castro up in a disastrous (for him) shooting war with the U.S. Aware of this, Cuban officials, though they arrested Cadon, made no effort to keep the DC-8 when it landed in Havana. They offered the passengers daiquiris, sandwiches, and music by a strolling trio before they flew back to Miami. Moreover, Castro offered to trade an Eastern Air Lines Electra, skyjacked earlier (TIME...
Just for Insurance. Gizenga's team might well have been defeated in Parliament had Moise Tshombe allowed his delegation of seven Senators and eight Deputies to attend the session in Leopoldville. But Tshombe, between bouts of bush fever, was more interested in sowing discord at home and abroad. Imprisoned for two months by Kasavubu's central government, he had won release by promising Strongman Joseph Mobutu that he would merge his 11,600 army, officered by 634 Europeans, with that of the central government.

...penicillin prince, Penbritin,* which promises to carry the fight against groups of microbes that have defied all previous penicillins. If it fulfills its early promise, Penbritin will become the first-choice drug against several forms of food poisoning, certain types of respiratory infections and meningitis, and possibly typhoid fever as well...
...fulfilled in intestinal infections caused by one of the commonest forms of Salmonella; after a brief clearing, the microbes reappeared. More trials in many patients will be needed to show whether Penbritin can be useful against the several forms of Salmonella and Shigella that cause much dysentery and enteric fever, and, most importantly, against Salmonella typhosa, the microbe of typhoid fever. Two encouraging characteristics were noted by the British Medical Journal: Penbritin appears to be remarkably free of unwanted side effects, and it has the advantage that it actually kills the microbes, whereas drugs previously used only starved them...
