...that the U.S. is "second best." He was interrupted by vigorous applause no less than 72 times. Still glowing over his reception, Ike turned in another rare performance with an extemporaneous talk next morning at a breakfast for 600 Republicans. "In the operation of any great human organization," he said, "constructive plans and programs must be developed in the great middle road . . . Most people instinctively grow to like the paved highway, and they understand here it is where human progress is achieved. Those that march in the gutter, in the extremes of the right and the left, in the long...
...from the physicians' point of view, they did not develop the coughs, runny noses and stuffed-up heads of real measles-so often the forerunners of pneumonia. On the basis of early tests, neurologists believe that the vaccine, which has caused no encephalitis in monkeys, also protects the -human brain against viral invasion and damage...
...Edmonston strain took almost four years of exquisitely refined laboratory techniques and testing. Dr. Enders put a series of assistants to work on it in turn. Each kept the virus growing while transplanting it from one tissue-culture pot to another. One grew it in cultures of cells from human kidneys. Another kept it going through 28 transplantations in cells of human amnion ("bag of waters"). A third got it to flourish in the amnion of fertilized hens' eggs. Dr. Samuel L. Katz took it from there, found that by this time the virus would multiply in chick-embryo...
Encouraging Tests. Dr. Katz began needle work on children. (Dr. Enders, no M.D., cannot give injections to human subjects.) The first dozen cases were encouraging enough for the Boston group to send vaccine to pediatric researchers in New York (Staten Island), Cleveland and Denver. Of the first 171 who had the vaccine injected just under the skin, 83% developed a fever that usually lasted less than three days. It was lower than the fever of ordinary measles, with a mean of 102.4° (rectal). About half the children developed a rash. Again it was milder than that of natural measles...
What the Eye Sees. In sum, television was at its best covering the few worthwhile speeches in the heat of their delivery; the faces of big and little politicians with their masks down; and some great human interest moments, as when Senator Barry Goldwater's teen-age daughter leaned out of her box during the floor demonstration for her father and literally wept into an NBC microphone. But the networks' competitive zeal, their cameras poking at every face and their microphones inching up to every mouth, reached a point of diminishing returns. Too often TV reporters were...
