Laura was only 2½, but so well adjusted for her age-she rarely cried and never had tantrums-that her doctors and parents had no qualms when she was admitted to London's Tavistock Clinic to have an umbilical hernia repaired. Her mother could visit Laura every day, and she would be home in a week. She seemed to understand all this when mummy and daddy explained it. She was even allowed to take her favorite soft toy, unsanitary though it was. Surgery went well, and to doctors and nurses Laura seemed fine. Even her anxious mother thought...
Dwight Eisenhower, on his fourth visit since Dulles' hernia operation disclosed persistent cancer (TIME, Feb. 23), quickly sensed his friend's low morale. He started to talk of how Dulles had provided much moral encouragement during Ike's own recoveries, from ileitis and the coronary attack.

By Walter Reed's high-speed pneumatic tubes he shot the tissue and the fluid to the laboratory...

The operation was termed a success, but announcement of any other findings of the doctors was delayed until Saturday. Neither the White House nor the State Department would say anything pending that announcement...
