...other U.S. papers that take his column. On Nov. 17, in Winchell's space, the Mirror carried the byline of Winchell's customary summer replacement, slight, snappish Lee ("New York Confidential") Mortimer. With the shift went an explanation : "WW is ill with a staph infection. He will resume his column when he feels better. Meanwhile, Lee Mortimer's column will appear in this space." But as the weeks wore on, even this vague promise vanished, leaving readers to wonder whether Winchell was ever coming back...

In U.S. clinical tests, Staphcillin proved effective against penicillin-resistant staph strains in nearly nine out of ten cases. And its successful com mercial synthesis offered hope of another breakthrough: development of nontoxic penicillins that can be administered with safety to allergic patients...
