...reports that since 1950 cholera has been wiped out, the incidence of plague reduced by 90%, of smallpox by 95%. Actually, the Reds' whole health program has foundered because of lack of doctors. The Reds' own press soon had to admit that aggrieved Shanghailanders had coined a tag phrase, "Three long, one short," to describe their medical care: long periods of waiting for a clinic reservation, for registration and for treatment, but a short time for diagnosis. From the Red press, too, came horrifying stories that modern drugs made in China were often unfit for use-loaded with...
...bitter, contentious week before Der Tag (Feb. 24), the day when the West German Bundestag opens its final debate on German rearmament. Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, secure in his huge parliamentary majority, was "100% certain" that the Paris accords would be ratified. Yet he and his Cabinet colleagues were stumping the countryside, pleading with the German people to abide by the Parliament's decision and accept the call to arms when it came.

They swarmed down the treeless slopes, each labeled with a white cloth tag, shoes tied onto feet with string to keep them from pulling off in the ankle-deep mud. Each carried a pathetic bundle of possessions-straw bedding, aluminum kitchenware, a canteen or blackened teakettle, and (almost invariably) a rose-patterned chamber pot. Few seemed sad at leaving their cold, wind-whipped islands...
...shop. Says he: "I watch them pick up a package, drop it, pick up another, look at the picture. Finally, they put something in the basket. Then I ask them why." One thing he found was that the picture on the package was just as important as the price tag. As a result. Swanson packages all have bright, tempting wrappers...
