...were pleased to learn that Gilbert Cant, TIME'S Medicine editor since 1949, has been awarded $2,500 and a gold statuette as winner of the 1961 Albert Lasker Medical Journalism award for outstanding medical reporting in magazines. Cant's cover story on Virologist John Enders (TIME, Nov. 17) was cited for "presenting an exciting and informative view of the world of viruses" that "has set a high standard deserving of emulation." Nobel Prizewinner Enders himself, in a letter to Cant, called the piece "an excellent statement in a short compass of the present state of virology. Comments...
...cover story this is, in his 15 years as Religion editor. It was edited by Senior Editor Bill Forbis, who has put in a busy month. He has been responsible for editing three out of the past four TIME cover stories (the other two: the Rembrandt painting in Art, Virologist Enders in Medicine...
While Safran was stirring his paint and laboring over his canvas, Associate Editor Gilbert Cant and Researcher Jean Bergerud, as well as 17 TIME correspondents around the U.S., were visiting laboratories and quizzing virologists to put together the cover story.

After Writer Cant and Senior Editor William Forbis had put the final touches on the cover story about Virologist John Enders* and medicine...
Chasing a Bug. For years, researchers have been trying to isolate and assess the role of PAP viruses. In 1944, Harvard Virologist Monroe Eaton found in the sputum of some pneumonia patients an agent that caused PAP. So far, researchers have not been able to prove for sure that "Eaton Agent" is a virus. It goes through fine filters and thus seems to fall in the sub-bacterial size-range of the viruses. Like some other viruses, it can be grown in chick embryos and hamsters. Using new fluorescent techniques, researchers have traced the antibodies that are formed to fight...
This week in the A.M.A. Journal, a team of Detroit and Chicago researchers, headed by Parke, Davis Virologist Wilton A. Rightsel announced that viruses capable of producing hepatitis in man had been isolated. By carefully regulating temperature, alkalinity and acidity, the researchers had managed to isolate several strains of virus, grow them in tissue culture. What is more, they were able to focus an electron microscope on the viruses, magnify them 53,000 times, and take their picture...
