...Hollywood Palladium, home of Lawrence Welk's champagne music, Dr. Max Rafferty had a few remarks for 1,000 enthusiastic supporters. " Today," he said, "the hydraheaded enemy wears different disguises: the sick mask of obscenity, the wild and raving false face of drug addiction; the sullen mask of subversion; the devilish domino of lawlessness. And so the great wheel of time has come again full circle in our day, and the mantle of our fathers has fallen to our shoulders...
...height of the Communists' savage Viet Nam offensive, Lyndon Johnson's low-key performance was a cool effort to mask one of the most trying weeks of a crisis-ridden presidency. Amid all the tumult around him, Johnson still found time to chat amiably with West Berlin Mayor Klaus Schütze, make yet another plea for a 10% income tax surcharge, and present the Heart of the Year Award to Actress Patricia Neal, who suffered three near-fatal strokes three years...

Doctors and nurses en tering his room had first to undress in one antechamber, then scrub, then mask and robe themselves in sterile garments. Warned by experience that they might have overtreated Patient Washkansky, the doctors were giving Blaiberg fewer immunosuppressive drugs and in smaller doses. "Perhaps we treated the last patient too early for rejection," Dr. Barnard said. "We are not going to make the same mistake...
