		Tonsillectomy became a popular treatment for recurrent sore throats and respiratory infections as early as the 1800s, and its frequency peaked in the United States in the late 1950s to the 1970s.
		The number of tonsillectomies performed in the United States has declined from over 1 million per year in the 1970s, to about 250,000 per year, due to growing skepticism in the medical community about the utility of tonsillectomy for infection control.
		Often performed in conjunction with removal of the adenoid (a mass of lymphoid tissue located behind the nasal passages), tonsillectomy is a minor surgical procedure that is generally well-tolerated.

	Total Cold War - Reviews
		Osgood's well-researched volume uses topics as diverse as cultural diplomacy, the arms race, and the space race to shed new light on efforts by the Eisenhower Administration to shape opinions at home as well as abroad, in the free world as well as the communist world.
		Osgood convincingly shows, in a sophisticated narrative that weaves together many topics and themes, that the struggle to 'win hearts and minds' in Western countries and the Third World was at least as high a priority for the United States as the battle to influence sentiments in the Communist bloc.
		Although the United States Information Agency did the brunt of the visible work, Eisenhower was shrewd enough to involve non-governmental bodies -- business, private individuals, labor -- because he felt they would be more effective, and because they would have the value of mobilizing the public behind what he was doing.

	Foreign Affairs - The Rise of U.S. Nuclear Primacy - Keir A. Lieber and Daryl G. Press
		By the early 1960s, the nuclear arsenals of the United States and the Soviet Union had grown so large and sophisticated that neither country could entirely destroy the other's retaliatory force by launching first, even with a surprise attack.
		Hawks, who believe that the United States is a benevolent force in the world, will welcome the new nuclear era because they trust that U.S. dominance in both conventional and nuclear weapons will help deter aggression by other countries.
		The United States derived immense strategic benefits from its nuclear primacy during the early years of the Cold War, in terms of both crisis-bargaining advantages vis-à-vis the Soviet Union (for example, in the case of Berlin in the late 1950s and early 1960s) and planning for war against the Red Army in Europe.

		BOZEMAN, Montana (CNN) -- A disease that disorients fish, eventually killing them, is spreading across the United States, affecting not only the fish but the people who depend on them for their livelihood.
		It apparently came from Europe to the United States in the 1950s and has since spread to 22 states.
		"Fishing in Montana is more than a $250-million-a-year industry, and in a small populated state like ours, that is a large portion," said Tom Anacker, the president of the Whirling Disease Foundation.

	Back to the '50s - Nov. 18, 2002
		In a research note released Monday, Merrill Lynch senior economist Gerald Cohen pointed out some of the surprising similarities between the United States in the 1950s and the 2000s and suggested that the robust economic growth that followed the '50s could happen again in the '00s.
		Not only are business-friendly Republicans in control of Congress and the White House for the first time since 1954-56, there are other 1950s-era trends that already have re-emerged in the new century that could be a boon to the economy.
		Still, as scary as deflation can be -- witness the United States during the Great Depression and modern-day Japan -- the super-low inflation of the '50s and '60s was accompanied by rip-roaring economic growth.

		The typical shoulder-held launcher and the small missile were designed by the United States in the 1950s and can strike aircraft flying up to 5,000 meters.
