Second, Mo Rocca on James A. Garfield. Third, Lee Cowan on Paramount Pictures. Fourth, Steve Hartman on "Shipping Out." Headlines: We're having a heat wave, especially on the eastern part of the country. Power outages. 13 deaths. Wildfires in Colorado. UN plan for Syria. In Egypt, new Pres took over. Voting in Mexico. Soyuz space capsule touches down. Alec Baldwin wed 28 year old yoga instructor. Big crocodile. As to weather, map showed 80s for east coast (dreamin'?)
The first story opened with a container of mosquitoes. "All the Buzz." Rockefeller Laboratory of Neurogenetics (head=Leslie ). Welts are body's reaction to saliva of mosquitos. Anopheles. Aedes Aegypti. Culex pipiens. Lindsey Biloni. People with higher levels of blood sugar are attractive to mosquitos. 700 cases of West Nile virus in US last year. Jorge Arias.

Almanac. Silly putty. July 1, 1952. Trademark registered for "Silly Putty." James Gilbert Earnest Wright on "bouncing putty"; Life 1945. Peter Hudson marketed it as silly putty. A real solid liquid. Display at Smithsonian.
Wikipedia notes a dispute over the invention of Silly Putty:
Credit for the invention of Silly Putty is disputed[5] and has been attributed variously to Earl Warrick, of the then newly formed Dow Corning; Harvey Chin; and James Wright, a Scottish inventor working for General Electric in New Haven, Connecticut.[6] Throughout his life, Warrick insisted that he and his colleague, Rob Roy McGregor, received the patent for Silly Putty before Wright did; but Crayola's history of Silly Putty states that Wright first invented it in 1943. Both researchers independently discovered that reacting boric acid with silicone oil would produce a gooey, bouncy material with several unique properties.
Rita Braver on Joan Miro. Pictures filled with whimsey. Harry Cooper of the National Gallery for Art in Washington, DC. The Rut (1918) to The Farm (bought by Earnest Hemingway). Miro was born in Barcelona in 1893. The importance of shock.
Miro traveled between France and the Catalan countryside. Alex Susanna is director of institute in Barcelona. Fork piercing an apple. In 1937: The Reaper shown in Paris, along with Guernica (Picasso). A sort of ladder that unites earth with the sky. "The ladder of escape." In 1973 (at age 80) a series of burned canvasses. He died on Christmas Day, at age 90.

Martha Teichner Sunday Journal on the Health Care Law. Hackensack Medical Center. Robert Garrett of Hackensack ramped up expansion plans. Under new law, reimbursements are being slashed. Consolidation is a way to deal with this cutback. Medicare covers 40% of Hackensack's patients. Cost containment is insignificant according to Robert Leschevsky. Medical cost per year is up: 8414 to 20,727 2001 to 2012. We can't afford this system anymore. Ann Kaufman Nolan of Hudson River Healthcare. The nation's 1200 community healthcare center. The Supreme Court gave states the right to turn down ACA. Clip of Mitt Romney: repeal ObamaCare.
Summer movie season by David Edelstein. Nobody needed another SpiderMan movie.
So-called reboot should be shunned. Merchandisable franchises. Then Edelstein says: I loved it. Andrew Garfield from the Social Networker. Garfield is high strung and simmering.

Guiteau: it's the doctors who murdered Garfield.
