Cairo. Replacing Henry A. Byroade in precarious Nasser-land: Raymond Arthur Hare, 55, Director General of the Foreign Service since 1954, an old Mid-East specialist with embassy service in Beirut, Teheran, Cairo and Jidda in the 1930s and '40s, as ambassador to Saudi Arabia and Lebanon in 1950 and '53. Dapper Ray Hare, who looks like Ronald Colman, has a profound knowledge of Arab society and economic life, but no previous ties with Nasser, hence symbolizes a fresh, new era of U.S.-Egyptian policy...

It took medicine centuries to discover that the infant is not just a little man, and to set up the specialty of pediatrics. It has taken longer for medicine to learn that the elderly person is not just...
...operation daily diet of 1,800 calories had been increased to 2,500; slowly, he was recovering some of his lost weight. He was feeling "stronger and stronger," he told his doctors. The physicians-the White House's Howard Snyder, Walter Reed Hospital's Leonard Heaton, Philadelphia Specialist Isidor Ravdin-all agreed. "The President," they reported, "has had a very satisfactory week. His convalescent progress has been steady and uneventful...
