...well be top gun. The TV tally sheet already lists 62 shows (network and syndicated) devoted to some variation of Cops & Robbers. Police detectives practice their profession on the networks only a few hours a week; it is the civilian shamus who lays down by far the heaviest barrage. At least 15 of the Private Eyes now visible have survived other seasons; the four newcomers-Staccato, Philip Marlowe, Bourbon Street Beat, Hawaiian Eye-came on behind a resounding drum roll of publicity. On the ABC network alone there are twelve detective shows, three of them back-to-back on Friday...
...open annoyance of many jurists, first prize in painting went to Spain's Modesto Cuixart, 33, cousin but proclaimed rival of Spain's Antonio Tapies (TIME, March 16). Cuixart makes elegant mudpies, the blackest and heaviest in the notably gloomy Spanish exposition. Black may always be in fashion, especially in Spain.

G.O.P. Leader Charlie Halleck, coming from a White House conference, called the bill "a diluted version of a watered-down bill," thus fired the opening shot in the battle to force the Democratic majority in Congress to pass a strong bill or take the blame for none...
...from 1948 to 1955 provided a kind of national immunity. Although 39 out of 100,000 people suffered serious attacks of the disease in those years, 500 to 1,000 out of every 100,000 got mild infections without knowing it and built up an immunity. Since 1955, the heaviest incidence of polio has been among children still unborn at the time of the big epidemics. Researchers note that in the first post-Salk vaccine year (1956), the worst polio was among one-year-olds, and in the second, among one-and two-year-olds. Now it is worst among...
