...their pre-election pastoral letters, Archbishop Davis and two other Puerto Rican bishops had warned that voting for able Governor Muñoz was a sin, but did not attach ecclesiastical penalties.

Some plastics, Snyder admitted, will surely be weakened by the ultraviolet light that abounds in space. But others may actually be strengthened. He explained that ultraviolet does its damage by breaking the plastic's molecular chains and permitting oxygen and other gases to attach themselves to the broken ends, thus making the break permanent. In space this will not happen. The loose ends of chains broken by ultraviolet will usually find no gases to combine with. They are free to recombine with other loose ends, giving the plastic a strong, cross-braced structure...
...Miami by Dr. John Rosholt of the U.S. Geological Survey and Italian-born Dr. Cesare Emiliani, it depends on the fact that a tiny amount of uranium is dissolved in all sea water. When it slowly decays radioactively, it yields protoactinium 231 and thorium 230, both of which attach themselves to sediment particles and sink slowly to the bottom. There they in turn decay, but protoactinium 231 decays faster than thorium 230. The age of sediment on the ocean floor can therefore be determined by measuring the relative abundance of the two isotopes...
...have had heart attacks and those with angina pectoris-clear signs of coronary atherosclerosis-often have abnormally high levels of blood cholesterol. Some of it may come from the diet, especially butterfat, but researchers attach more importance to that produced within the body itself. The human system is a busy and versatile cholesterol factory, can make the stuff from practically any food, especially saturated fats...
