Nonsense Talk. At first, Secretary of State Christian Herter offered Castro a diplomatic out for his undiplomatic language, laid the outburst to "emotional strain" over the disaster. But when his words only increased the din of epithets, even Herter's patience was tried. He summoned Enrique Patterson, Cuba's chargé d'affaires, to the State Department and read him one of the strongest protests the U.S. has issued in recent years...
...named Librium by New Jersey's Roche Laboratories, it is technically methamino-diazepoxide, a synthetic chemical unrelated to previous ataractic drugs. Finding the right dose for individual patients is admittedly tricky. But the manufacturers claim that when this is achieved, Librium comes close to producing pure relief from strain without drowsiness or dulling of mental processes. Also claimed: unusual freedom from harmful side effects-the commonest one reported, with high doses, is impaired coordination...
...massive, 3½-acre octagonal tower of metal, masonry and glass planned by Wolfson has already stirred heated controversy, even though Wolfson enlisted the talents of famed Architects Pietro Belluschi and Walter Gropius to design the building. City planners complain that its huge population (25,000 workers) will strain service facilities in the area, and architects grumble that the building will be too big (2,400,000 sq. ft.) to achieve architectural distinction...
...influenza and bacterial pneumonia (hard to separate, because one so often complicates the other) were about 50% above average for January's first half, reported the U.S. Communicable Disease Center. In seven states and the District of Columbia the active flu virus was identified as the mutant Asian strain, A2-57. In seven other states the same strain was suspect, but not yet convicted on laboratory evidence...

Virologists soon proved that the virus was no mystery agent-merely the familiar Asian strain. But the ill-health picture in the area was complicated by other factors: the semiannual epidemic of "Spencer's disease," as local doctors like to call unexplained outbreaks of nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, and a second type of upper respiratory illness, milder than flu, presumably caused by a virus of a different family. One or another...
