Dent in the Backlog. Putting fluorides to work on a test basis, the Navy has adopted a three-stage treatment. First, each patient is given a basin, a toothbrush, a small cup of pumice paste containing stannous fluoride, and a five-minute lecture on how to proceed. He brushes his teeth for ten minutes. Next, he is plopped into the dentist's chair. A technician spends three to five minutes air-drying his teeth and applying a 10% stannous fluoride solution. Third, the patient gets up to 15 minutes of instruction in how to make daily...
...keep the sea water out and to transform the Charles into an entirely fresh water river. In 1908, the Charles River Dam was built near the present site of the Museum of Science, and the eight-and-a-half mile long, 300 million gallon capacity Charles River Basin was created. The fresh water basin could have absorbed and treated "naturally" the storm water overflow sewage...

Each lock-opening admits salt water, and the wedge of salt that gets into the basin prevents oxygen from circulating throughout the water to treat the sewage. And so the Charles remains polluted...

That probably meant one of the two Mordvinian camps in the upper Volga Basin, where they may see relatives three times a year, receive letters once a month, and be "paroled" only to a less severe camp. Since neither man is especially robust, long hours spent chopping trees and doing other heavy outdoor labor under sub-zero winter conditions could prove fatal. As far as Pravda, Tass and Izvestia were concerned, that would hardly be too harsh for what Tass described as "dirty foam brought...
...combat the new low mountain morality, ski areas are fighting back. Bogus Basin, Idaho, now hires off-duty deputy sheriffs to patrol the piste in "plain clothes," passes out notices to advertise the fact. Squaw Valley has put up posters offering $100 reward to those who can catch a thief. And resorts as chic and cher as Vail, Colo., have been forced to install racks that lock skis in place...
