Fame does not cure berylliosis. Tuberculosis attacked Dr. Gardner's poisoned lungs. He spent most of his time in Vallejo Community Hospital, often under an oxygen tent. Even when feeling his best, he was forbidden by the doctors to lift his newborn daughter Claire, now two years old. But he kept a microscope near his bed and worked on his meson research whenever he had enough strength. During his final hours under an oxygen tent, knowing that death would no longer be denied, he worked with pencil and notebook, painfully gleaning his brain while he still had time...
Only two hours (on an average) after an office delivery, mother & child are sent home in an ambulance. After 50 such cases, with no maternal or infant deaths and few complications, the Millers are confident that office deliveries are often just what the country doctor should order...

John Koch's The Monument was curious in content and cottony in color, but it had a complexity and depth of composition that few moderns could bring off. Isabel Bishop's Nude Bending (one of the show's few nudes) was so dimly painted it looked like a fading wraith...
