GREENSHORO NC Sickness from colds was cut in half and school absences due to colds were reduced by over half in a large clinic.

Street of the Fishing Cat wins prize despite mild praise
Bruce Catton reviews Jun Foldes’s The Street of the Fishing Cat as pleasant and ingratiating but not robust enough to justify its All Nations prize. The novel follows displaced émigrés in postwar Paris, including a Hungarian family, Russian refugees, and others, who long to return home while facing loneliness and drift. It contrasts with John McIntyre’s Steps Going Down, the American award winner, and mixes literary critique with light asides on humor and film trivia.
