Medicine: Bolsheviks in WHO

One branch of the U.N. that has really accomplished things is WHO (World Health Organization). It has successfully fought yaws in Africa, yellow fever in Latin America, leprosy all over Asia, TB in India and Europe. Last week WHO got its strongest testimonial to date: Russia, which walked out in 1949, walked back in. Typically, the Bolsheviks refused to pay $3,800,000 in back dues, offered to settle for about onefourth.
